Jethro's Story
Jethro<br/>6-year-old male GSD mix<br/>Gatineau, QC (transport available)<br/><br/>Jethro is a mature, easy-going boy who thrives in a calm, predictable routine. Past the puppy phase, he brings a steady temperament and is a very manageable companion. He settles in beautifully with his people and enjoys simply being part of the home.<br/><br/>Training:<br/>We’ve been working on refreshing Jethro’s foundational obedience (sit, down, place, and threshold manners). On walks, he is environmentally neutral and remains composed unless another dog escalates first. Even then, he recovers quickly and is very workable with clear direction from his handler. With structure and consistency, he continues to make steady progress on a slip lead. He has also been introduced to the treadmill and enjoys it.<br/><br/>He is fully potty trained. Currently, he is crated at night where he settles independently and remains quiet. While he may be vocal if crated during the day, his previous owners successfully left him uncrated without issue. He is fostered with two other dogs indoors and coexists well.<br/><br/>Health:<br/>Vaccinated<br/>Neutered<br/>Microchipped<br/>No known health concerns. He would benefit from shedding a few pounds and is responding well to regular activity.<br/><br/>Additional Notes:<br/>Good with neutral, respectful dogs<br/>Good with children<br/>Not suited for homes with cats<br/><br/>Ideal Home:<br/>Jethro would thrive in a home that offers routine, guidance, and steady companionship. While he enjoys his walks and benefits from regular exercise (especially as he works toward a healthier weight), he does not require an intense lifestyle and is equally happy relaxing with his people.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal, steady companion with a solid foundation already in place, Jethro may be your perfect match.<br/><br/>Jethro will be sent home with his collar, leash, crate, bed, and any remaining food. Given the structure he’s been thriving under, complimentary training support through Reliable Canine is available to help his adopters maintain clarity and consistency.<br/><br/>********************************************************************************<br/>Jethro<br/>MĂ¢le croisĂ© Berger Allemand de 6 ans<br/>Gatineau, QC (transport disponible)<br/><br/>Jethro est un chien mature et facile Ă vivre qui s’épanouit dans une routine calme et prĂ©visible. Ayant dĂ©passĂ© la phase chiot, il possède un tempĂ©rament stable et est un compagnon très facile Ă gĂ©rer. Il s’intègre merveilleusement bien Ă son foyer et apprĂ©cie simplement faire partie de la vie de famille.<br/><br/>EntraĂ®nement:<br/>Nous avons retravaillĂ© les bases d’obĂ©issance de Jethro (assis, couchĂ©, place et contrĂ´le des impulsions). En laisse, il est neutre face Ă son environnement et demeure posĂ©, sauf si un autre chien s’excite en premier. MĂªme dans ces situations, il rĂ©cupère rapidement et se travaille très bien avec un maĂ®tre qui lui donne des directives claires. Avec structure et constance, il continue de progresser rĂ©gulièrement avec une laisse slip lead. Il a Ă©galement Ă©tĂ© initiĂ© au tapis roulant et l’apprĂ©cie.<br/><br/>Il est propre dans la maison. PrĂ©sentement, il dort en cage la nuit, oĂ¹ il s’installe seul et reste calme. Il pourrait Ăªtre vocal s’il est en cage le jour, mais ses anciens propriĂ©taires le laissaient libre dans la maison sans problème. Il est actuellement en famille d’accueil avec deux autres chiens Ă l’intĂ©rieur et la cohabitation se passe très bien.<br/><br/>SantĂ©:<br/>VaccinĂ©<br/>StĂ©rilisĂ©<br/>MicropucĂ©<br/>Aucun problème de santĂ© connu. Il aurait toutefois avantage Ă perdre quelques livres et rĂ©pond bien Ă l’activitĂ© rĂ©gulière.<br/><br/>Ă€ noter:<br/>Bon avec les chiens neutres et respectueux<br/>Bon avec les enfants<br/>Ne convient pas Ă un foyer avec des chats<br/><br/>Famille idĂ©ale:<br/>Jethro s’épanouirait dans un foyer offrant routine, encadrement et prĂ©sence stable. Il apprĂ©cie ses promenades et bĂ©nĂ©ficie d’exercice rĂ©gulier (surtout dans l’optique d’atteindre un poids santĂ©), mais il n’a pas besoin d’un mode de vie très actif. Il est tout aussi heureux de relaxer Ă la maison.<br/><br/>Si vous recherchez un compagnon loyal et stable, avec de bonnes bases dĂ©jĂ en place, Jethro pourrait Ăªtre le match parfait pour vous.<br/><br/>Jethro partira dans sa nouvelle famille avec son collier, sa laisse, sa cage, son lit ainsi que toute nourriture restante.
