Cruz has never met a stranger. This sweet boy walks up to everyone he ever meets with a huge smile and nuzzles them, hoping for a hug. Because he is an Australian Shepherd he doesn’t have a tail, but his “nub” wags like crazy whenever he is getting some attention. He loves kids and we recommend a family that wants to play with him in the backyard or go for walks, or for someone who wants a running partner or wants a friend to take to the dog park.
