Levi Shepherd & Terrier Mix Mount Airy, NC

Levi and his brother Sash were rescued from a less than ideal living arrangement when they were 6 months old. They were not well socialized and lived in small make-shift pens outside with little to no shelter from the winter weather.


On intake, they were fearful of normal, everyday things. They were terrified to be held by people and had never seen stairs and were too afraid to navigate them. They had never been outside their small pens and didn't know how to function in this new found world of theirs. They had never been indoors and all the new sights and sounds were alarming to them.


Oh, how time heals all wounds!! Levi is almost 2 years old now and is quite the athletic boy! He enjoys playing fetch with his tennis balls and will play all day long if you are willing to keep throwing! Levi is highly intelligent and trainable. He would love to learn some agility skills with his forever family. He can easily catch a ball in mid-air, and he knows commands like sit, shake, down, drop it, stay, shake, and high five!!


Since Levi didn't get to socialize with other dogs at a young age, he has a hard time making new four-legged friends. He does best with dogs his size and smaller as he feels very intimidated by larger dogs. He prefers female friends (he's a lady's man)!

Levi is very social and enjoys hanging out with his human companions. He especially loves kids and enjoys playing with them! He is almost house-trained, but needs reminding to go out and potty. He is crate trained and loves napping on the couch with his tennis ball nearby. He weighs about 35 pounds.


Please consider giving Levi a chance to prove what a great and loving dog he is and to finally have a forever family to call his own.
