Meet Ghost
Ghost’s is looking for a new forever home. Adopted as a 3-month-old puppy in March, this sweet
boy has grown into a happy, affectionate companion. Now 11 months old, he’s looking for a new
home due to his previous owners not having enough time to work with him now that he's not the little puppy the originally adopted. With the right support and stability, Ghost has every opportunity to thrive.
Ghost is fully potty trained, social, playful, and truly an all-around good dog. He gets along great
with other dogs and is good with kids, though we recommend older children since his
enthusiastic play may accidentally knock over little ones. He hasn’t been around cats, so his cat
friendliness is unknown.
Ghost is smart, eager to please, and very treat-motivated. He already knows several
commands, including sit, stay, down/lay down, shake, come, go potty, and leave it. He’s the
perfect match for someone who enjoys dog training and wants a young dog who can continue
learning new tricks and skills.
.
Outside, he loves walks, hikes, yard time, and exploring. He does best with an active lifestyle
that helps him burn off his puppy energy. Inside, he is cuddly and absolutely loves to
snuggle up with his people. He likes to chew on bones and toys.
Really, his only challenge is his separation anxiety when nobody is home. He does fine in his
crate when his humans are home, but does not like being left for longer periods of time and tries
to escape his crate. His current foster is working with him to improve his crate training. He would do best with someone who works from home, is retired, or has a flexible schedule so he doesn’t need to spend long hours alone.
Ghost is leash trained and great on walks. He is not off-leash trained yet. He is currently being fostered with 5 other dogs and 2 cats and does well with everyone. He was great with the initial meeting and is nothing but friendly. He is not violent towards the cats, but pretty interested since hes never seen them before and they are working on it.
He is a beautiful boy and is a very tall and lanky guy. One of his sibilings was genetic tested and that is the last photo. He is about 3/4 german shepherd.
