Mars is truly a Good Boy. He is calm, friendly, and quiet. He's shy at first, but once he gets to know you, he's a lover. He is being treated for heartworm, and we will remove a benign cyst on his back, but is otherwise in excellent health. He gets along great with other dogs, though he sometimes likes the ladies a bit much. An awesome dog!
