My story

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

Meet Filo, a one-year-old German Shepherd looking for his second chance!  Filo hasn’t had the easiest start in life. He came to HART from a dog hoarding situation and, as a result, struggles with some anxiety. But this handsome boy has so much potential. He just needs the right person to help him shine!



Filo is a high-drive, intelligent, and trainable pup who thrives with structure and purpose. Because of his past, he can take a little time to warm up, but once he trusts you, he’ll be your loyal shadow for life. He loves having a job to do and is eager to please when given structure and consistency.



When he gets frustrated or anxious, Filo can become a bit mouthy, but with proper training, exercise, and engagement, he channels that energy into learning and working. Filo would make an incredible working dog or active companion for someone who can give him the focus and purpose he craves.



Filo will do best in a home that can provide structure, patience, and a clear training plan. We’re asking future adopters to include a plan for his training and daily structure when bringing him home. This will be key to helping him decompress, stay engaged, and thrive.



To help Filo succeed, Scott Holliday from K9 Solutions in Grantsville has generously offered four free training classes for his adopter! This will help set him up for success and strengthen his bond with his new family. Because we believe so deeply in Filo’s potential, we’ve also waived his adoption fee.



Please note:  You must live within a 175-mile radius of our facility to be considered for adoption.
