Rougaro is Looking For: This young boy is looking for his own humans to lavish all that love and affection upon them. German Shepherds get deeply attached to their people - they're known as Velcro dogs for a reason. Rougaro may be a mix but he's certainly got that GSD in him and knows that having his own people, being safe and loved and under his own roof is the most important thing.
He's ready to be by your side on all your adventures, offering loyal companionship for all his days. What do you say? Does Rougaro start his new chapter with you?
What My Foster Says About Me: Rougaro is a fantastic puppy. Although he’s already one year old and we've had him for only a few days, he has definitely had a warm and loving upbringing to this point. He’s eager to learn and will do great with training, and at being your velcro. He is very calm and gentle, and a great house guest - he even designated his own area in the backyard for his business and uses the rest to play and explore. While he loves to run and play, he can quickly calm down and be docile.
He is well-behaved in the house (no resident animals but kids and activity), car, dog park, walks, and meeting people/dogs. He has zero aggression, and we have yet to hear him bark – even when prodded with the vacuum, mower/blower, or when the neighboring dogs are on the other side of the fence. He loves going on walks, is excellent on the leash, either gently saying hi to people and dogs or observing them and moving on. Take too long stopping to talk to a friend on a walk, and he’s lying at your feet waiting patiently.
He has met toddlers and up, and gives everyone the same warm greeting, possibly accompanied by a lick. We haven’t cat-tested him yet, and he shows no signs of aggression toward squirrels, birds, or food. He does love his treats, which are already helping with the training we have begun.
He is good with the crate, but spends most of his days lying around/sleeping in his expen area, with or without it being closed. He sleeps through the night and waits patiently for us to let him out. His favorite is for us to get down on the floor with him and snuggle while he gets in his yawns and stretches to wake up slowly, which happens often.
Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
