Meet Hawkeye, named for one of the founding members of the Avengers! We can't begin to tell you how happy we are to have this boy with us! Hawkeye is a very young - 6 month old GSD - German Shepherd Dog - and a beautiful one at that! This beautiful black and tan boy was terrified at the shelter, and literally threw himself back into his c rate at the shelter when he was walked down the aisle toward it, and pressed himself into the back, hoping to make the loudness and scariness of the shelter be as far away from him as possible. He temperament tested like a champ though, and we were happy to welcome him to the family! He was significantly underweight when we met him - at least 10 pounds shy of where he should have been for his build. At the 60 pounds he should have been, he should be 100+ pounds when he is done growing. He will be one big beautiful boy!!
Hawkeye comes to us at a great age, perfect for his socialization, confidence building, and training! He stayed pressed against the wall for much of the first couple of days, but is now happy, tail up and glad to be there with friends he already loves! He is a true puppy, but learning quickly in the program with his handlers. This boy will grow and thrive in this program, and be a great addition to the right home when it is time to graduate.
