Handsome is a sensitive, intelligent young shepherd who just needs a little patience and reassurance to truly shine. With a calm, loving home and continued training, he’ll grow into a loyal, playful companion who’s happy to be by your side.
• Crate trained and comfortable settling in
• Learning basic obedience and doing great
• Smart, quick learner, and eager to please
• A bit shy and timid at first but very sweet
• Playful once he feels safe and comfortable
• Gets along well with other dogs
• Cat-friendly
• Gentle, thoughtful, and kind-hearted
Handsome would do best in a patient, loving home that will continue building his confidence and celebrating his progress. With time and trust, he’ll reward his people with quiet loyalty, gentle affection, and plenty of sweet moments.
All dogs listed for adoption are up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and spayed or neutered - or will be when old enough. All of this is included in the adoption fee.

More about this rescue
About Northwest Working Breed Rescue
Northwest Working Breed Rescue is a foster-based rescue dedicated to helping working breed dogs in need. We focus on dogs who benefit from structure, engagement, and thoughtful placement — and we work hard to make sure each dog is set up for long-term success.
Our rescue was founded by people who combine a deep love for dogs with a practical, team-based approach. After years of fostering, transporting, and supporting rescue operations behind the scenes, we saw the need for a rescue that pairs compassion with strong systems, clear communication, and support for fosters and adopters alike.
We believe rescue should work well for everyone involved — the dogs, the fosters caring for them, and the families welcoming them home. Our process emphasizes appropriate medical care, behavioral support, and responsible matching, with multiple checkpoints to ensure each adoption is the right fit.
Every dog in our care lives in a foster home, where we can learn about their personality, needs, and strengths. This allows us to be transparent with adopters and create placements that last.
We do this work because every dog deserves a chance to be understood, supported, and loved — and because saving dogs is most effective when it’s done thoughtfully, collaboratively, and with intention.
