Fig

Meet Fig<br/><br/>Fig is the kind of pup who feels like a quiet sunrise—soft, steady, and full of promise if you give him the space to shine.<br/><br/>This handsome Shepherd mix is already checking off the “good boy” boxes like a pro. He's nearly house trained with no accidents so far, and he sleeps peacefully through the night in his kennel. Say “kennel up” (bonus points for a treat), and he'll politely tuck himself in like it's part of his nightly routine. Smart? Oh yes—Fig is very smart.<br/><br/>At home, he's all about the cozy life. Think belly rubs, couch snuggles, and quietly hanging with his people. He's happy to be near you, but also content doing his own thing when needed—a perfect balance of companion and independent spirit.<br/><br/>Fig is still learning that the world is a safe place. Because of his past, he can be a little protective around food, so he'll do best being fed separately—but he's already making great progress. He's also just starting to explore leash life and build confidence. You can see it in him—he wants to play, to trust, to be a carefree puppy. His wagging tail gives him away every time.<br/><br/>What Fig needs most is a patient, understanding home that will let him open up at his own pace. And when he does? That bond will be something really special.<br/><br/>Fig at a glance:<br/><br/>• Shepherd mix<br/><br/>• Estimated DOB: 9/19/2025<br/><br/>• 25 lbs<br/><br/>• Nearly house trained (no accidents!)<br/><br/>• Crate trained & sleeps through the night<br/><br/>• Smart, gentle, and quietly affectionate<br/><br/>• Best fed separately while continuing to build confidence<br/><br/>Fig is the brother to Fiona (and Fritz & Frita, who are still looking for fosters!), and he's ready to find his own forever story.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a loyal little shadow who just needs a bit of love to fully bloom, Fig is waiting for you.<br/><br/>$250 adoption fee includes neuter, microchip, UTD vaccines, and current vet check.<br/><br/>Message us if you're preapproved or apply today at newleashdogrescue.com
