Butch

Hi, my name is Butch. I'm a handsome male shepherd mix born in February of 2024. I'll only be adopted to a home in Hanover County, VA, Richmond Metro area, or counties adjacent to Hanover.<br/><br/>I'm a young, intelligent, high energy kind of guy who loves to be on the move. I'm super well-behaved on leash and I love to go on walks and jogs - the longer, the better. I'm affectionate, loving, and appropriate with people. I'm eager to please my humans and I'm super smart - I could possibly be a good fit as a support dog. I do have a very dominant nature with other dogs though. With my probable combination of herding breeds and dominance, I tend to react to other dogs getting in my space. I am able to walk on leash with other dogs around me with no problems, but I shouldn't go into dog parks or places that an unleashed dog can approach me. I do get along with some chill dogs that respect my boundaries - usually younger females. I've been responding well to desensitization training with other dogs, so with some consistent training from a patient owner, who knows...? I'm probably not a good fit for an apartment/condo or townhouse with a small or no yard unless you are VERY active and will take me out for exercise multiple times a day. I need space to run and someone to keep me stimulated both mentally and physically. For off-leash, my space will need to have a TALL fence, as I'm a prolific jumper. Agility dog training, anyone? Take a chance on me and you'll be rewarded with a best buddy for life!<br/><br/>If you're interested in possibly adopting me, please email to info@hanoverhumanesociety.org.
