Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Vader, as in Darth Vader! Darth Vader was formerly Anakin Skywalker, who had the potential to become one of the most powerful Jedi ever, and was believed by some to be the prophesied Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force before he crossed over to the dark side. While Darth was dark and twisty in Star Wars, our Darth is anything but!
Darth was Cpt America at the shelter, and th at was a fitting name, since everyone there thought he was a super hero! His story, while sad, is not an unusual one. He was adopted from the shelter, and a loved family member in a home for a couple of months, before apartment complex management determined that he was on their "dangerous dogs list". How incredibly sad for this happy, life of the party boy to go back to the shelter. He caught our eye with his constant smile, resiliency in the run, and of course, his striking good looks! When we tested him, he was a solid pass!
Vader is a young boy - around 18 months old - and we believe is a bull terrier / pittie mix. He is a solid 57 pounds. He is very smart, and is learning quickly from his handlers. He is a very affectionate boy, and would be a great companion for someone who loves to be active. A brisk walk, a rousing bout of throwing a tennis ball, a hike in the woods would all be right up this boy's alley! Vader also enjoys an energetic play session with another dog, and is able to adjust his play style to the play style the other dog prefers - what a smart boy!
Vader is a part of the Canine CellMates program, and is located in Atlanta, GA. He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on all his shots. Canine CellMates dogs are trained in items similar to the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test. They learn basic obedience and behaviors such as sit, down, stay, go to place, and leave it. They are also crate trained.Vader has now completed his training and is ready to be adopted! Interested in this striking super hero dog?
