Davey German Shepherd Dog Mix Hastings, MN

Hi there! My name is Davey and I'm a 4 year old male Shepherd mix. I have been told I am a very handsome boy with a personality to match! Those are great qualities, right? I just don't understand what is taking so long to find my own forever family. I originally came from a high kill shelter in South Carolina and boy was I glad to get out of there! I have since come to love all the volunteers and staff at Animal Ark. When the volunteers brush me, I don't have the heart to tell them they can brush all they want, I'll just make more! I think you should know right from the start about my two favorite things. They are belly rubs and a fun game of fetch! You may wonder why those two?... Well, I get to do both of them with my humans! So, if this sounds good to you, count me in! This is what the volunteers & staff want to share about me:

Davey is an affectionate and playful boy who will brighten your days and capture your heart in an instant. You can often find Davey with his chin on his paws and his eyes looking up your way. He is hoping to catch your glance in a silent plea for some quality time spent with you. Davey will settle right next to you or even come up and lay right in your lap. He doesn't need any coaxing. And during brushing sessions, well, he will always turn over for his tummy to be rubbed because he thinks belly rubs are the best! Davey LOVES to play fetch and he is unable to hide his enjoyment when chasing and returning the ball. His happiness is written all over his SMILING face! Davey is a pack dog at heart and has many doggy friends at the shelter. Davey and his friend Blue often chase each other around while playing in the ark park together. He will even share his ball with her. Davey does well with most dogs when given proper introductions, however, a meet with any potential siblings would be a must. Davey looks forward to going on walks and is always on the lookout for a squirrel to chase.... SQUIRRELS BEWARE!!! Because he has a prey drive, he will do best in a home without cats and other small animals. Davey adores his humans and after his walk he enjoys a good rest or nap hopefully right next to you! Davey rides well in the car, is house trained, and knows commands like sit, shake, down, and come. He likes children but at times can be a little mouthy. He does have a "soft" mouth and responds well to treat or toy redirection. Davey is smart and wants to please and he would really benefit with some training to become the best dog he can be!

We Love Davey very much and we want more than anything for him to find him his very own family. He will fill your life with joy! So, if you are a "pro" at giving belly rubs and you are searching for a super sweet and playful companion then our sweet Davey is your boy!
