Him is a GSD/Labrador Retriever-mix, male, 1.5 years of age.
A sweetly animated little snuggler with an outgoing and happy disposition, Him is heart-and-soul a people-loving canine who will form a deep, life-long bond with his family members. Highly social, friendly, sensitive and affectionate, he thrives with human companionship and close contact--- including cuddles and kisses!
While this fun-loving youngster has shown himself to be an intelligent, obedient, very well-meaning dog who is eager to please when he knows what is expected of him, he’s young and easily distracted when outdoors. Him will flourish with a responsible, caring owner who provides him with the leadership and guidance he needs and craves right from the start. Steady guidance, patient leadership, and positive reinforcement training will help channel his puppy-like enthusiasm, and, no doubt, help him mature into the confident, well-behaved adult dog and family companion he was born to be.
Training and Socialization classes are recommended for Him. Not only will he benefit from and enjoy these classes, but he’ll surely excel in them too. This will also be an excellent way for his new owner to bond with him as well as to reinforce good canine manners. In addition to formal classes, providing safe opportunities for Him to meet new people and master new activities and situations will set him up for success as a polite, accomplished, very well-mannered family canine member.
Active, lively, playful, and extremely spirited, Him loves the outdoors and will need regular outlets for his mental and physical energy to stay happy, healthy, and well-behaved. While energetic with puppy-like exuberance, his exercise needs aren’t all that extreme and can be met with interactive outdoor play and free-runs in a securely enclosed area, regular leashed walks, and outings alongside his beloved family members to whom he will be faithfully and lovingly devoted for a lifetime.
Him is best suited as an indoor pet and companion for a home with a moderately-active lifestyle. While we think he’ll get along well with a compatible, similar-sized dog he has been properly introduced to, particularly one of the opposite-sex, a home visit and a meet-n-greet with any housemate pets will be required prior to adoption. We also think Him will do well in a home with children of any age so long as children and pets alike are taught to respect boundaries and interaction is monitored as it should be.
Him is a Monroe SPCA adoptable dog who currently resides at Monroe County Animal Control located at 911 S. Raisinville Rd, Monroe, MI (just south of the fairgrounds).
