Story
Hi there! My name is Vonnegut, named after the famous author Kurt Vonnegut, but most folks call me Vonnie!I am a German Shephard Mix and am considered a medium-large breed! I should be fully grown by now, so you`ll know what to expect from me. I am a lanky fella with a lot of love to give!I am the kind of dog that would do best as the ONLY pet in the house as I am not a fan of other dogs. (Please don`t bring me to dog parks!)Even though I am only two years old, and already know TONS of tricks! I already know sit, down, stay, come, and wait and don`t even need treats to do them! I am working on my leash manners but am getting better every day! I have lots of energy and love to play, but once I get my wiggles out, I`m an affectionate, cuddly guy who enjoys affection. I am constantly looking to please you and want to make you proud of me!Because I can get a bit jumpy, I would do best in a home with older children. Can you blame me? I`m just an excited young man! But with very easy training, like `down` or `no`, this behavior can be adjusted. We`re working on it here, but I`m just SO excited that the other dogs can distract me pretty easy!At RASKC you can find me laying on my bed and playing with my toys! I am very gentle with my stuffed animals. I also love to get walked by our dog walkers and they love to take me out!I`m a WAGS Adventure Buddy! One of our awesome volunteers takes me out on outtings at the warehouse she works at and I do awesome! If you happen to catch my staff caregiver, Janelle, she can show you all the a-dork-able clips of how I do when I`m out and about. I love to nap, adventure down halls, and LOVE a good car ride (and even sit pretty and wait patiently a pup-cup, if you so please!) Because I`ve been here a while, and the stress of meeting new neighbors and humans was getting to be a little much, my caregivers have me in a quieter space in the private hall where I have a little more room to run and less visitors to greet. If coming to meet me, just let them know at check in - they`re super happy to bring me out to the yard so you can hang out with me! You can visit me at the Pet Adoption Center on weekdays from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm, Saturdays and Sundays from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm. The Pet Adoption Center is located at 21615 64th Ave S, Kent, WA 98032.Come and visit me today, I`d love to go home with you!
