My story

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

Add some pep to your step with Shep! Shep is a playful and bouncy boy who has many dog friends here at APA! He has learned good recall, is excellent on leash, extremely smart, AND very good on car rides! Shep is SUPER playful and a HUGE fan of tug-o-war, strawberries, and two-ball fetch! He's also quite treat motivated and loves to learn new tricks for snacks. He knows the command: sit and place. Shep would love a family that will shower him in love and strawberries. Talk to a matchmaker today to meet this bouncy boi!
