TREBLE - GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog / Mixed. Meet Treble, a distinguished 7-year-old Shepherd Mix (though we wouldn't be surprised if there's some Akita in that family tree too) with 35 pounds of pure heart — and don't let that "7-year-old" fool you, he's got the energy of a dog half his age. He's neutered, current on vaccines, and microchipped — a gentleman in every sense (well, mostly — more on that in a moment). Treble's family had to move and, heartbreakingly, couldn't take him along, but he's ready to write the next chapter of his story. And what a well-rounded chapter it'll be — he's lived happily alongside cats, dogs, and kids, and gets along famously with all of them. Treble is a ray of sunshine wrapped in fur. His whole body lights up when he sees his person, and a walk with him feels like the best part of his day, every day. He loves walks and hikes (fair warning: he does like to leave his mark along the way — a dog's got to sign the guestbook). He could walk for miles (and he's great on leash), but he's just as happy to settle in next to you while you work from home, putter around the kitchen, or relax on the couch. He doesn't need constant entertainment, just company — he's the kind of dog who wants to be your buddy, your shadow, your ride or die, whether that means an adventure or a quiet afternoon. Treble is in good health and not on any medications. He's already leash-trained and potty trained, though he could use a refresher course on his basic manners — sit, down, and stay are more like polite suggestions to him right now. He doesn't need an experienced handler, just someone patient and willing to put in a little practice. The one thing Treble's working on: he gets anxious when left alone, which he expresses by barking for a bit when his person leaves. He'd do best with a family who can help him feel secure and work through his separation anxiety with him — patience and consistency will go a long way. Treble is a loyal, affectionate soul who's ready to give his whole heart to a family of his own.
