SHADOW - SWEET BOY-PROF. TRAINED-GSD MIX - GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG / LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: German Shepherd Dog / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat). SWEET "SHADOW" NEEDS A FOSTER HOME AND A FINAL HOME ASAP! This guy is a sharp, gentle sweet dog, with a huge potential! Sadly, he has heartworm, but AWHAR is getting him treated. He is now with an expert trainer to make this big guy even more amazing that he already is. Is learning to rest quietly in a crate, walks well on a leash, and to learn general commands. Frankly, he doesn't really need training, but it will make him even more desirable! He will be through training in mid December. He then needs a foster to see him through heartworm treatment. SHADOW's HISTORY: is a big handsome sweet male German Shephard (Lab mix). Never met a person that he did not like. He is estimated three years old and 99 pounds. He is primarily GSD, 95% we think, and we'd say definitely from a European Line based on his large size and strong hips, not slanted. Shadow LOVES attention and especially gently rubbing his head! NEVER had a bathroom accident in the house. He has an excellent CALM, collected, and laid back nature, and he is extremely smart and wants to please. QUICK to learn, even though we think his previous owner was harsh to him. German Shepherd MIXES are the best, LOW KEY CALM and SO SMART! He originally lived with small kids who came in the yard, a poodle (now rescued, too) and lots of chickens. He rarely barks. He is not dog reactive, but gets excited. OUR rescue, AWHAR, finally got him released from former owner. The former owner bought him as a small puppy from a crummy flea market in Norcross. Shadow's whole life had been in a fenced backyard 24/7. Shadow has NEVER had a dog house, no bed, no cover ....and he braved the elements during all seasons, the rain, hot weather, cold weather and storms. Thanks to the kind rescue person in the neighborhood who took pity on Shadow, he now has a CHANCE at a wonderful home. He has tons of good references! Shadow wants a fenced yard and a SOFT bed INSIDE. He is fully vetted and just needs a place to go for treatment.
