Story
Meet Guapo – The Tall, Dark, and Handsome Heartthrob. His name literally means `handsome` in Spanish...and trust us, Guapo understood the assignment. This striking German Shepherd mix weighs 60+ pounds and has the kind of looks that stop people in their tracks. With his tall, lanky frame, adorable floppy ears, and movie-star smile, Guapo is impossible to miss. But he`s more than just a pretty face—he`s a playful, fun-loving guy who`s ready to find his forever family. Guapo came to the shelter as a stray, and sadly, no one came to claim him. Their loss is definitely someone else`s gain.This handsome fella has a medium energy level, but mention a tennis ball and it`s game on. If Guapo had his way, he`d happily play fetch until the sun went down...and then ask for just one more throw. Because of his love for running and chasing balls, a fenced yard would be his dream come true.Guapo walks on a leash, but he`s a strong boy who will do best with a confident, firm handler to help him polish his leash manners. He`s smart, eager to engage, and ready for someone willing to invest a little time in him.He`s also a gentleman in his kennel, keeping his space nice and clean—a quality any future family will appreciate.We`re still getting to know Guapo, so his compatibility with other dogs, cats, and children is currently unknown. He has all the potential to be an amazing companion, and as always, a meet-and-greet with any resident dog is required to ensure everyone is a good fit.Guapo is available through our Foster-to-Adopt Program, which means you can bring him home now while he completes his veterinary care with the shelter. During this time, he`ll receive his vaccines, microchip, and everything he needs to start his new life safe, healthy, and loved. Guapo is already neutered and ready to focus on what matters most—finding his forever family.If you`re looking for a loyal adventure buddy, a fetch enthusiast, and one incredibly handsome best friend, Guapo is waiting to meet you. To adopt Guapo, please email dogadoptions@parmashelter.org and submit an online dog adoption application. Guapo`s adoption fee is $160. Come meet this handsome boy—you just might fall head over heels for those floppy ears and that winning smile.
