Meet Nacho, a handsome 3-year-old Lab/German Shepherd mix who needs a hero. Nacho is currently at a shelter with max capacity and will be euthanized if he cannot find a forever home.
About Nacho:
• Age: 3 years
• Breed: Lab/German Shepherd Mix
• Kids: Lived with 4 small children for 3 years but may be too big and unpredictable for young children.
• House-trained: Yes
• Other animals: Lived with cats and dogs. He is afraid of dogs at first but then loves to play. His play style may be too much for small or senior dogs.
Nacho has some special considerations that his new family should be prepared for. Like many devoted pets, he experiences some separation anxiety, though this has shown improvement when he has canine companionship. He's an energetic boy who thrives with regular exercise and structured activity - something he hasn't been getting enough of lately. With positive reinforcement training and consistency, we believe Nacho will flourish. Currently, he's quite stressed in the shelter environment, which isn't showing his true personality.
The ideal home for Nacho would be with an active family who can commit to giving him the exercise and mental stimulation he needs. His new family should be patient and understanding as he adjusts and works through his anxiety issues. While not required, experience with shepherd breeds would be beneficial in understanding his smart, loyal nature. Nacho can go to a home either as an only dog or with other canine siblings, though he'll need proper, supervised introductions to ensure everyone gets along well.
This sweet boy is currently very scared at the shelter and needs someone to show him that life can be good again. Could you be Nacho's miracle?
