Puzzle Shepherd Mix Temecula, CA

Puzzle is a handsome 6 year old pup and he certainly knows it! This petite dude only weighs about 30 lbs! He's super smart, friendly, and a hidden gem waiting to be found! Puzzle loves attention and is such a sweetheart. He does fine with kids. He also does fine with other dogs but with that said, he would be just fine as an only dog - and might be quite happy to be the only pup at home! He LOVES to play fetch with all the toys (he's a true tennis ball enthusiast!). He's silly and will bark at the animals on TV. He's calm in the house and knows when it's time to settle down but is always up and ready to go for an adventure or play fetch. He loves car rides but he can't enjoy long walks or going up large steps of stairs due to his back legs. He follows you like a shadow around the house. He's an amazing little dog who is patiently waiting to win your heart!!

Puzzle originally came to us after being rescued from the streets of TJ. He had surgery for a broken back and it became apparent that he had a prior broken leg which healed incorrectly at a 95 degree angle (when it should be 45). Despite this, he gets around just fine with little to no assistance. He does have wheels to help on longer walks if needed but he doesn't like his wheels or boots very much. When he walks, he simply doesn't pick up his back feet so they tend to drag or crisscross.

He's house trained, crate trained, leash trained, rides well in the car, and is so ready to bring you a lifetime of love and joy!
