My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Do you have an “empty nest”? Are you looking for some handsome boy companionship? Great news, your search is over!

In addition to my very dapper good-boy looks, I am also an avid ball player and dignified goofball. You may be thinking how in the world I can posses such conflicting personality traits...well I am definitely very regal in my looks and initial demeanor...but once I let my hair down (the shed is real, am I right?) and create a bond with my person, I reveal my more quirky attributes!

I love being outdoors; you could even say that I am easily amused. Whether it be playing fetch to my heart's desire or going for a long trail walk (I would probably make a pretty good jogging buddy too). If you have a boat with an empty seat, count me in because I LOVE to swim! Being a German Shepherd, I am one of the 'brighter crayons in the box'. In my free time I like to work with the staff and volunteers to brush up on my basic command skills. They are always telling me what a smart guy I am! Well...I assume that's what they are saying, judging by the treats they give me, I am doing good!

Proper introductions to establish a trusting, positive, first impression is a must with me. I am an old fashioned kind of guy. I know I am irresistibly handsome, but I appreciate getting to know each other before getting all touchy-feely. Because of this, I would be happiest in a home without children (or other wondering hands). I do love affection and a good ear rub....but a mutual respect needs to be established first. I also want to be your only side-kick, I am not a social butterfly with other pets, I would much rather hangout with just my person. I have a pretty strong prey drive to keep the stray cat and pesky squirrels out of our yard too....A job I take very seriously.

If you are in the market for a dashing side-kick to rid the yard of vermin, submit your adoption application at the website below to see if we are a match!

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

Our application is designed to help us learn about you and what you are looking for in your new dog.

2.

Approve Application

Our approval process ensures that the dog you are interested in is an appropriate match, or uncovering an overlooked perfect match for you!

3.

Visit the Facility and Find a Pet

We invite your family to come out to meet with the dog(s) that are compatible to narrow down and decide what dog is right for your family.

4.

Meet the Pet

We schedule a required second visit to finalize adoption. If a dog introduction is needed, we do so and finalize the adoption.

5.

Take the Pet Home

At the end of your second visit, you are able to take your new dog home, or schedule a third visit to bring your dog home!
