Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Spock is a 50/50 Dalmatian/German Shepherd mix (Embark DNA info available) who is a testament to the capacity dogs have to love and trust despite their past. He's gone from an abused, emaciated puppy who was afraid of EVERYTHING to a dog who is a confident, loving, gentle, 75 lb. cuddle-bug! He leans on you and always wants to be next to you or in the same room as you. He is silly, playful, eager to learn, and a bit timid at first but warms up quickly. He is fully potty trained, walks well on a leash (escape proof harness required) after a few minutes, and easily learns basic verbal and hand signal commands. He would do best in a home without men or small humans (his abusers); however, he warmed up to my husband and grandsons after reassurance, patience, and a couple of weeks.
Vet reference will be required.
