SCOUT - SHEPHERD (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Shepherd (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 375. This sweet senior gentleman is a neutered German Shepherd, and he's looking for a loving home to spend his golden years! He’s definitely a big boy—and he’s working on shedding a few of those extra pounds! He’s potty-trained, dog, cat, and kid-friendly, and absolutely great with babies and older children. He’s a gentle soul with a loving heart who just wants to be near his people. He can handle stairs, though they can be a bit of a challenge at times, and while he does love to "chat" (yes, he’s a barker!), it’s part of his big personality. We’ve started portioning his meals due to his weight, but he’s clever and will try to sneak snacks if others aren’t watching! He’s calm, loyal, and truly just wants a quiet, caring place to call his own. If you have room in your heart (and on your couch!) for a big, lovable boy who’s ready to give and receive love, please consider giving him the forever family he deserves.
