Mischeif

Meet Mischeif !!<br/>Man this puppy is gorgeous!!! We took him and his brother in after the owner had a litter in the home. (His brother Bedlam was quickly adopted by the foster bc these two are amazing!) <br/>Mischief is an almost 7 month old, male, German shepherd. He already weighs 56 pounds. Hes a good size pup already and will likely be a large dog full grown. <br/>He will be neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped as part of his adoption. He is Heartworm negative and on monthly preventions. <br/>Mischief is extremely sweet. He loves to melt into you for hugs and loves to cuddle. He likes everyone but men are his favorite. He came to us very under socialized but not bad at all about learning training and overcoming some shy areas. Hes really a gem of a puppy and has a ton of potential. <br/>He is great on car rides. He is very good about going into his crate and has been fine crated for a work day and/or overnight. Hes been very quiet in his kennel except for some vocal excitement when you first get home. <br/>Mischief has been fantastic about potty training. He has not had an accident at all since arriving here. Hes also not a leg lifter at all thankfully. He was scared for his bath but didnt fight it. He just laid down in the tub and let us get it done. <br/>He was however petrified of the leash. When he arrived he screamed, thrashed, threw himself around and tried to eat the leash. In a matter of days hes made huge improvements. The tension still scares him but with verbal corrections and practice he has been able to take a walk without freaking out. Patience and practice will help with that from his new owner and he does best with an escape proof slip lead style harness.<br/>Mischief has been great with other dogs. He plays but isnt overwhelming. He loves tug o war with other dogs. He has been around small dogs and he really does well with ones that dont run away from him but ones that are scared of him he does tend to chase thinking its a game. He has never hurt them, but we do immediately stop him from chasing them and dont let it escalate. Judging by that we dont think he would do well with cats either. <br/>He has not been fostered with kids but we think he would do fine with kids. He is a sweet boy and does not seem to be aggressive about anything. He was very good with the vet for his visit despite being scared. <br/>We have not seen any issues with sharing food, treats or toys with people or other dogs. He does eat very quickly. We let him eat in his crate so he doesnt feel pressured. He takes treats gently and is very treat and praise motivated. He does occasionally growl at new people but if they crouch down hes in their lap within moments. Just some slight initial fear of new people due to lack of socializing. <br/>He currently has a medium energy level. Hes currently very laid back for a shepherd puppy. This breed can be very energetic and he needs a family willing to accommodate that should his energy level increase. He will do best with both mental and physical exercise each day to be his best self. He is currently fine with you being gone for a full work day with playtime after. He enjoys running the back yard with other dogs. <br/>Mischief is also a fantastic yard work buddy. Despite being a bit shy about some things he has no issue with lawnmowers, leaf blowers etc. He loves hanging out with you while you are doing things. He will find a shady spot to lay in and come check in on you every so often. <br/>He is still a puppy and sometimes chews on things he shouldnt. He is easily redirected and doesnt go out of his way to get into things. Keeping his areas puppy proofed and providing toys and bones works well. He is still learning that potted plants arent snacks. <br/>Overall this stunning puppy is very well behaved. He needs some fine tuning for some of his training but he has a really good foundation and learns quickly. <br/>Vet and home checks required. <br/>Located in Hampton VA.<br/>(He will need to be adopted within a 1 hour drive radius)<br/>!!Please message VillageDogResource@gmail.com directly with questions or to get an application.
