Archimedes Shepherd Mix Albany, NY

ARCHIMEDES (aka Archie) - Shepherd mix, male, ~8 years old, 70 lbs. ARCHIE's foster family describes him as the kind of neighborhood family dog that anyone over the age of 50 years recalls from their childhood. ARCHIE enjoys the company of other dogs but his true passion is to be a devoted and steadfast companion to his people. He walks beautifully on leash and after a long walk, loves nothing more than laying beside your chair. And don’t let the grey muzzle fool you! ARCHIE is a wonderfully calm jogging partner and has been learning better recall by doing some off-leash hiking in a safe area. We've seen him briefly interact with kids and he really seemed to enjoy them. ARCHIE's foster home does not have cats, therefore we are not sure how he feels about them. ** If you are interested in adopting this dog, you must first complete an adoption application at http://peppertree.org/adoptapp.php.

We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
