STETSON - SHEPHERD / HUSKY / MIXED (LONG COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Shepherd / Husky / Mixed (long coat). Meet Stetson! He is an 11-month-old Shepherd mix with a heart as big as his personality. This handsome, bright-eyed boy is the perfect playful puppy and devoted companion. He has been described as one of the easiest and sweetest dogs you could hope to meet well-rounded, curious, happy, and always eager to please. Stetson truly wants to make his people proud, and when he knows he’s done something wrong, he immediately stops, listens, and rolls onto his back in the most endearing, submissive way. Stetson has grown up in a home with children, another dog, and cats, and chickens! He has consistently shown a gentle and patient nature. He has never displayed aggression toward people or other animals and does not guard his food or toys. Even when others are near him while he’s eating or chewing, he remains tolerant and calm. He is good with cats, though he may occasionally try to engage them in a playful chase, treating it more like a game than anything else. He loves playing with other dogs and would likely enjoy a canine companion, though it’s not required. Like many young shepherd mixes, Stetson is intelligent and active. He enjoys exploring the yard, sniffing new scents, meeting new people, and even chasing the shadows of butterflies across the grass. He walks well on leash and enjoys outings, though he can become excited when he sees other dogs and will benefit from continued guidance and structure as he matures. He is crate trained and genuinely enjoys his crate, often choosing to relax in it during the day, and he settles comfortably there when left home alone. At his core, Stetson is a bright, affectionate boy with a big heart who simply wants companionship and connection. He thrives with space to move, mental stimulation, and a family committed to continuing his training and providing consistency. He isn’t complicated he just wants to love and be loved. Stetson will be a loyal, joyful companion who brings warmth, fun, and devotion to every day. If you are interested in adopting, please visit the I.C.A.R.E.
