who has all the goofy puppy energy packed into a grown-up body. He’s got the personality of a four month old shepherd who still thinks mouthing is a love language, but is quickly figuring out the rules. This boy is turbo-charged and always on the move. He entertains himself with toys (he even figured out how to wedge a puzzle toy against the wall so it wouldn’t slide away while he worked on it = genius!), loves butt scratches, and is super food-motivated. He already knows “sit” and is quickly picking up more commands. Dezmond is: Dog-friendly (he can get amped during intros, so slow introductions are best) Crate-trained and doing well with it A huge foodie who learns fast with treats Internally happy, goofy, and endlessly entertaining He'd love to do agility work one day! He can be barky with strangers at first, but the second you offer him a treat, he’s your new best friend. Because of his herding nips, jumpiness, and mouthiness, Dezmond will thrive with an owner who has German Shepherd (or similar breed) experience and who’s ready to channel his big puppy energy into training and structure. Dezmond is the definition of a “silly manchild” shepherd mix: wild, joyful, and absolutely lovable. If you’re looking for a smart, sweet, goofy pup who will keep you laughing and moving, Dezmond might just be your perfect match. Dezmond is from a local impound. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
