My story

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

Approximate Age: 5 years old
Approximate Weight: 60 lbs

Meet Glenn: Loyal, Smart, Adventurous!

• Big Heart, Big Potential: Glenn is very loving and has a soft spot for his people. He can be nervous at first, but warms up. He will do best with a confident, consistent handler and a structured routine.
• Gentle Family Fit: Best with older kids/teens who are respectful and not rowdy.
• Great Companion: He's like that good ol' boy who will sit at your feet and watch the sunset. Perfect for someone looking for a companion.
• Not a Sofa Soul: Glenn crushes our ODHS Sunday hikes like a seasoned pro. He walks well on a leash and keeps up a good pace; he's not the couch potato type.
• Big Yard Enthusiast: Glenn would love a big yard! He absolutely loves to be outdoors and be active.
• People Only Club: Best as the only dog in the home. Glenn has worked on being around other dogs and has been non-reactive on leash with proper commands and control.
• Cat Friendly: Glenn has shown that he is not interested in cats.
• Car Ride Zen Master: Glenn is the perfect passenger, always calm and collected; he sits quietly in the car and enjoys the view.
• Glenn’s Got Skills! He knows heel, sit, come, place (implied stay), down and the command break to release.
• Crating: A structured crating routine will help keep Glenn on the right track. He will need a heavy-duty impact crate, as he is known to destroy standard wire or travel versions.

Glenn is a loyal, fun-loving boy who will make an incredible companion for the right home. With structure, consistency, and clear expectations, he is blossoming into a confident and happy dog.
