Meet Neptune

Neptune is our longest-term resident, having been with LPC since his litter was pulled from the shelter when he was just 3 months old. Now, as a 1-year-old lanky teenager, he’s still looking for his forever home.

While Neptune has been in rescue, he has become beloved by many. With his goofy puppy antics, devilishly handsome looks, desire to please, incredible intelligence, and sheer enjoyment of life, his happy personality is infectious. While he can be timid around new people, you can quickly become his best friend for forever. He’s incredibly loyal to his people, and wants nothing more than a best friend. Neptune has worked through potty training and crate training, and has even spent time with a trainer to learn obedience training.

Neptune is an English Shepherd mix, and has the typical shepherd drive. Neptune needs lots of activity or mental stimulation to keep his mind occupied. If he is not provided enough mental and physical stimulation, he will find ways to entertain himself, and those choices don’t always align with keeping the house, or himself, safe. Luckily, Neptune is incredibly trainable, and very motivated to please. He works hard in his enrichment puzzles, works on his commands daily, and enjoys a nice walk or game of fetch to run out his energy!

In his new foster home, Neptune has shown he actually does very well with other dog-friendly dogs with proper introductions! He plays with his foster canine siblings, and is working on slow introductions with his feline foster siblings as well! He would still do better in a home with a securely fenced 5+ foot fence, as he has shown he could previously jump a 3.5-foot-fence. A home with shepherd or working breed experience would be ideal for this boy, as he would thrive with a strong leader. However, any active home would likely do just fine!

Neptune’s adoption fee is FULLY SPONSORED, meaning his adoption fee is $0. If you think you could be the forever home Neptune is looking for, you can apply to adopt through the link in our bio.
