Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog. Collin is a 12-week-old Shepherd/Husky mix who is equal parts curious explorer, playful goofball, and sweet snuggle buddy. He’s smart, growing quickly (sometimes a little clumsy as he figures out his legs!), and already showing how eager he is to learn. Collin is a typical active, playful puppy who runs full steam ahead until his body needs rest and will then sleep deeply for half hour bursts. He loves discovering the world around him—whether that’s romping in fresh snow, investigating new smells outside, or engaging in an intense game of tug-of-war with his foster brother. Because he’s adventurous and clever (he can even escape an x-pen), he’ll need a secure fenced yard to keep him safe while he explores. He has not been introduced to a walking leash yet. Collin has a great history with other dogs and thrives with his foster brother. When he sees other dogs out and about, he stops and watches with bright curiosity. He has met cats briefly and seemed interested in making friends, but a proper introduction is recommended. He does well with kids, though he will do best with dog-savvy children while he works through his teething phase. He is making progress with potty training and is almost puppy-pad trained. While crate training is still in progress, he much prefers snoozing near his humans. Collin is vocal in the most delightful way—full of squeaks, noisy yawns, playful growls, and the occasional “serious” puppy bark when the vacuum appears. Collin is looking for a patient, loving home ready for puppy antics and outdoor adventures! If you are interested in this dog, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - pethavenmn/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/ The adoption fee is $550. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. Due to post-adoption services provided, we prefer to adopt within a 150-mile radius of the Twin Cities. However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.

Overview:
The German Shepherd Dog, a truly iconic breed, originated in Germany in the late 19th century, primarily for herding sheep. They are easily recognizable by their athletic, medium-to-large build, typically weighing between 50-90 pounds, with a distinct double coat that can be black and tan, sable, or solid black. Known for their intelligence and loyalty, German Shepherds possess a remarkably trainable and courageous temperament, making them exceptional working dogs in fields like police and service work. While generally good with families when properly socialized, their high energy levels and need for mental stimulation make them unsuitable for apartment living without significant daily exercise. Prospective owners should be aware of common health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as degenerative myelopathy, underscoring the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary care.
