My favorite place to be is with me people! If youre looking for a shepherd-shaped shadow to follow you around and give you all the love, Im the pup for you!</span><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since moving in with my foster family, Ive made amazing progress in coming out of my shell. I can be a little nervous around strangers and big, scary noises, but I try my best to be brave everyday, and am gaining confidence by the week! When something is making me nervous, I head to my crate to decompress. That's my safe space! It also means that if youre someone who needs to go into the office for work, Id be happy to snooze in my crate or chill with my bones on the couch until you get back.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: 400;">Im a very laid-back, well-behaved guy. Im totally potty trained, Im very quiet in the house, and Im good at walking on-leash too. I like to take my time on walks, stopping to smell the roses, and maybe even sampling a few. My foster mom says that one of the cutest things I do is stopping in front of her on walks to get pets and attention. Even when Im out having a blast, I still want to make sure she knows I love her! One of my favorite things to do is go for hikes and spend time outside. It's not a must, but I'd love it if my forever family had a yard!</span><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition to being a perfectly well-mannered gentleman, Im also a smart cookie! I mean, I am a shepherd after all! I already know Sit, Down, and Come, and Id love to learn more tricks with my forever family! My favorite treats are...well, anything really! I especially love sweet potato flavored snacks and apple slices. I'm not picky though! If you're willing to share, I'm willing to give it a try!</span><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: 400;">I live with doggy foster siblings, and we get along great. We love to play together with our toys, and just hanging out as a pack. I also like to make new canine friends, and I love playing at the dog park and doggy daycare. Being with other dogs boosts my confidence, so I think it would be awesome to have a dog sibling in my forever family! Being an only child would also be just fine with me, and Id even be fine having a cat sibling!</span><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: 400;">I cant wait to meet my forever family, and start sharing all my love with them! If youre looking for a super handsome, loyal, loving pup to add to your pack, look no further! Apply to adopt me today! </span><br/><br/> Please visit our website www.ruraldogrescue.com to learn more about this amazing dog and to see other dogs available for adoption!
