STONE - SHEPHERD / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: Shepherd / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 450. Five-year-old sleek handsome guy with four legs seeks human companion. For LIFE. Looking for a serious, committed relationship. I’ve had buddies and other platonic relationships, but I’m looking for the real deal, a committed BFF. I’m a direct communicator. I’m a foodie. I like dogs that don’t pester me. I chase cats. I’m a total catch. Love, Stone. I’m a German Shepherd mix that came up from Texas in 2021 to seek out head pets and snuggles. Minnesota sure has some good ones! I was adopted in 2022 but sadly my humans were having a hard time and I had to move out, so I’m looking for a new start. I am super loyal and want to be your true best friend. I love to sniff around, and my sharp sense of smell keeps me interested in lots of things. I pride myself in the ability to protect your yard and garden from pesky critters. I love people, get along with chill dogs, and have a ton of love to give. I recently got certified in “Lap Dog” skills. I was crate-trained in my past life, but it’s not my favorite place (unless you're in there with me) so I don’t go in there often unless it’s to nap with the door open. In my downtime, I’m a great coworker and nap buddy and love to snuggle close to you. I also respect your space (and your shoes) and leave everything in its place when you’re gone. I have a lot of energy at times,but can also just chill when you want to. My human gives me anxiety medication as well, and that helps me a lot, especially with these recent changes. I love to learn and will do almost anything for treats. They’re my favorite! What do you say? Am I your new BFF adventure buddy? Stone weighs 50 lbs and is from Texas.
