Upton - ADOPTED - German Shepherd Dog / Mixed Dog For Adoption

View more

ss started. Visit our FAQ webpage for commonly asked questions about our adoption/foster process. Upton is a German Shepherd mix puppy. We are still working on putting some weight on him and he is still growing a bit, but he won't be as big as a German Shepherd. We don't have an exact age for him, but he is somewhere around 6 months old. Upton will need a very patient adopter. As is typical with puppies, he can be very mouthy. With him, however, he has the potential to leave bruises or nip to the point that it really hurts. He'll need a very patient owner who can work on proper training with him. Because of the potential for injury with his biting, we also are looking for a home without young children. None of this is done in an aggressive manner, but his playful biting has left bruises on his foster mom and we wouldn't want it to happen to a child! He also sometimes grabs a forearm in the mouth and pulls on it in a playful manner, but can still be painful. Other than his mouthy / biting issues, Upton is a real sweetheart! He loves playing with the other dogs in his foster home and is submissive to them. His energy and rough play style might be a bit too much for some dogs, but he would really enjoy having another dog around that likes to play. He also really likes to cuddle, with both dogs and humans. He also has excellent leash manners and would do great going for long walks with his new family! Upton is doing great recently with his potty training. He has had a few accidents, but is really getting the hang of it. He uses a dog door in his foster home and there will always be an adjustment period with a new home, so please plan on least a few accidents as he gets settled! He is also being crate trained. He isn't a big fan of his crate and will sometimes try to avoid going in it, but he has never made any escape attempts and he does not cry or bark when he is in there. He settles down quickly in there at bedtime and when his foster parents go to work. If you'd like to meet Upton, please fill out an application and you will be contacted! Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. The microchips are registered to Last Day Dog Rescue with the adopter's info added once adopted. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal. The Petfinder system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our animals. Visual breed identification in animals is unreliable so for most of the animals we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each animal as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our animals based on personality, not by breed label. Thank you for looking through our list of animals needing forever homes and choosing rescue first. We appreciate you stopping by.
