My story

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

Meet Boy – Your New Adventure Buddy!

Boy is a 1-year-old, 53-pound Dutch Shepherd mix with a heart full of playfulness and curiosity. This cute, energetic pup loves toys, belly rubs, and being around people. He’s eager for attention and enjoys every moment of it!

Boy walks nicely on leash and was easy to handle—he’s off to a great start with his manners. While he doesn’t know “sit” yet, he’s very gentle taking treats and would absolutely thrive in a positive, reward-based training class with you.

He’s been social and friendly with other dogs through the fence and seems interested in making canine friends, so a meet and greet is recommended if you already have dogs at home.

Boy would do best in an adult-only home due to some food-guarding behavior, but with patience and understanding, he’ll blossom into a loyal companion.
If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate young dog who’s ready to join you on hikes, walks, and adventures, Boy might just be the perfect match!
