Quibble - German Shepherd Dog / Terrier / Mixed Dog For Adoption

View more

black and tan boy is still growing and is expected to be a medium-sized dog when fully grown. Quibble had a rough start to life after being hit by a car and suffering a broken femur, but he has healed amazingly well and has never let it slow him down. He is smart, very food motivated, and already learning new skills. He is even working on sitting for treats while recovering from his injury! This playful boy absolutely loves toys, especially tug toys that he can shake around, and he enjoys Benebones, Kongs filled with canned food and treat puzzles. He figured out his treat puzzle right away! When playtime is over, Quibble is happy to curl up for a nap, often using a stuffed animal as his pillow. His favorite stuffed toy also helps him relax in his crate. Quibble loves other dogs and is happy to make new friends. He can be a little enthusiastic with his greetings, but he takes correction well from other dogs. He has also done well with a dog-savvy cat. Quibble has spent time around a 1-year-old and 3-year-old and has done well with them, although like most puppies, he is still working on his puppy mouthiness. Quibble is doing well with his house training but still has occasional accidents, and he understands how to use a potty pad. He is also making great progress with crate training, although he may fuss a bit if he is not tired and would rather be out playing. He has discovered his voice and sometimes likes to talk back to his people! Quibble has typical puppy energy: play hard, sleep hard! As he gets older, he will likely need moderate daily exercise along with plenty of mental stimulation and training. He does not require a fenced yard as long as his exercise and training needs are met. Because Quibble is accustomed to having people around much of the time, he will need a family who can gradually teach him that being alone is okay. He is not currently a good candidate for a home with shared walls, as he can be quite vocal when he is unhappy about being left alone. Quibble is a sweet, smart, playful puppy who has already overcome so much. He is ready for a loving family who will continue helping him learn, grow, and discover just how wonderful life can be!
