Garrison is an 8-year-old, 51-pound shepherd mix with the distinct air of a retired park ranger who still likes to keep an eye on things. He trots with mild determination, checks the scene like he's inspecting a trailhead, and then hops onto the nearest table to monitor the world with quiet authority. He isn't big on toys or treats, but he'll nudge your hand for pets and lean in once he decides you're trustworthy.
Around other dogs, Garrison prefers his personal space and communicates that with a calm, no-nonsense style. He's well behaved on leash for a dog who likely missed out on training, and he seems to relax when someone gives him clear structure.
If you could use a thoughtful, slightly serious companion who watches everything and chooses his moments carefully, come meet Garrison and see if he's your guy.
