Temu

Looking for a well mannered, big dog with a soft temperament and a tender and loving personality? Temu is a shy, sweetheart of a dog with a rough past who is looking for kind humans for his future. Temu showed up at a rescuer's home in California in the middle of the night back in November 2025. He was scared and lost and she took him in and began working with him to help him realize that the world is safe and how to live in a home. Temu has also completed a month long board and train to build his skills too! He is a dog with soft temperament hoping to land with an adopter that will help him continue to build his confidence. <br/><br/>- Approximately 18 months old and 75 pounds<br/><br/>- Likely a Doberman/German Shepherd mix. We have sent out an Embark DNA test to see what breeds Temu truly is on 6/1/26 and it takes about 3 weeks to get the results.<br/><br/>- Good with other dogs including small dogs. He would appreciate a fun, playful dog in his future home. Ideally not a dog that is bossy or dominant. Temu has a nice play style and reads other dogs well. He can be very neutral to other dogs also. No leash reactivity noted. <br/><br/>- Did well on his cat test. Ended up laying down and taking a nap next to the cat. <br/><br/>- Kids ages 13+ if there are kids in the home, only because Temu is a nervous guy and younger kids could be too loud and energetic for his comfort. He can be around kids safely, he just prefers a calm home. <br/><br/>- Shy guy who warms up with treats, gentle encouragement, soft petting and coaching. Good with both women and men. <br/><br/>- Walks really help Temu come out of his shell and explore the world through sniffing. He does best on walks in more suburban or rural areas. Walks in high city density with lots of vehicle sounds and heavy foot traffic tend to overwhelm him. When he's overwhelmed, he can spook at sudden, loud noises and pull to get away. He recovers well though and keeps on with the walk. But he will need someone willing to be patient and coach him if he's walking in an area where this is a lot of commotion. On quieter walks he does great and hardly pulls.<br/><br/>- Crate trained and doesn't mind being in his crate at all. It is his safe place and he will often go in his crate to nap and relax. Sleeps in his crate at night. <br/><br/>- When guests come to the home, Temu is reserved and generally does not approach. He does not growl, bark or jump on guests. He is very meek and just gives them space. As they stay longer in the home, he gets curious and will start to come by to check the new people out. Treats help so much with him making friends.<br/><br/>- Loads in a vehicle and does well for car rides. No car sickness observed. <br/><br/>- Knows sit, down, place, come and stay from the time during his board and train.<br/><br/>- Got into the dog wash station on his own and stood nicely for a bath.<br/><br/>- Shares toys well and we have not seen any resource guarding.<br/><br/>Temu has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, heartworm tested negative and is current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. His adoption fee includes a free wellness exam at one of our partner veterinary clinics in Oregon City, Portland, Milwaukie or Tualatin.<br/><br/>$150 adoption fee<br/><br/>Fostered in Oregon City, Oregon <br/><br/>APPLY TO ADOPT TEMU ON OUR WEBSITE: WWW.AGAVEDOGS.ORG
