The Dubuque Regional Humane Society is excited to introduce our Pet of the Week: Radar!

Radar is a 9-month-old, 60-pound sweetheart who's ready to find his forever home. This big, strong pup has plenty of energy and a playful personality that makes him hard not to love.

Radar can live with other dogs with proper introductions, although he's definitely a rough-and-rowdy player when he's in a playgroup. He's still a young puppy, so his future family should be ready to keep up with his energy and help him learn and grow.

As for cats, Radar is still a bit of an unknown. He's also able to live with kids, but because he's a big, strong, high-energy pup, older or active children who can handle his enthusiasm may be the best fit.

And then there are those ears! Radar's ears might just be the cutest thing we've ever seen. They're so adorable, you might even get free cable with them! Beyond his irresistible ears, Radar has quickly become a volunteer favorite, and once you meet him, you'll quickly understand why everyone loves him so much.

If you're looking for a fun-loving, energetic young dog who's ready to become your new best friend, come meet Radar at the Dubuque Regional Humane Society. There's a very good chance you'll fall in love with this sweet boy just like the volunteers have.
