Jeepers

Why should you adopt a 1-year-old doggie instead of a younger puppy?<br/><br/>Well, for starters, have you seen this face and those ears? <br/><br/>If that inquisitive expression doesn't grab you from the jump, then we'll appeal to your more rational side. At 1 year old, Jeepers is still young enough to bond with and grow into your family. We fully know his personality, so you'll understand his needs and wants and can match them to your home and dynamic. He's almost at his full-grown weight, so we can say with confidence that he'll be 40-45 pounds. No waking up in the night to take him outside, like a young pup, because he's solidly house-trained, and he's crate-trained for when you are away. This smart German Shepherd mix already knows many basic commands, including sit, down and wait, and he comes when he's called So, his training is well underway, and you can take the reins from here to show him specifically what directions to follow.<br/><br/>Jeepers is still young and has the curiosity and loyalty of a puppy, but with all that we know about him, you'll be able to know if he's a match for you. And, you won't have to toil with house training or baby puppy chewing and stuff like that.<br/><br/>And we haven't even gotten to how much fun Jeepers is. He loves all toys, all the time. He loves walks and doesn't pull on the leash, so you can stop and smell the roses and the....other stuff together. He loooovvvveesss attention from his people. You'll get to drink in those soulful brown eyes that seem to say "I love you" all the time.<br/><br/>Jeepers and his foster have been working hard to meet all kinds of new people and doggie friends. He can have some stranger danger, and that presents as barking. Underneath it, though, he's a good buddy just trying to make sure everyone's worthy of his friendship. A noisy but seemingly effective tactic that could also help anyone who needs a little extra security. He makes friends with other dogs after a slow (and maybe, ahem, talkative) introduction.<br/><br/>He should probably live with kids over the age of 6, because his puppy energy might topple very young kids.<br/><br/>Jeepers loves his people and will make the best darn boy for you, at every age. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, current on heartworm preventative and flea/tick prevention. His adoption fee is $175. To meet him, bring a juicy treat (yummo!), and get approved to adopt him at PawsitiveTailsKC.org.<br/><br/><br/> APPLY @ PawsitiveTailsKC.org
