Tortuga

At 57 lbs, this handsome shepherd mix is a gentle giant with a thick black and tan coat that's just as beautiful as his heart. Tortuga may be a big boy, but his soul is soft and sweet. He's a loyal companion in the making, just waiting for his forever family to help him shine. Tortuga gets along well with lady doggo friends, of a similar size and energy level and happily welcomes pets and affection from his human buddies at Saving Grace. Tortuga would do best in a home with a fenced in yard as his breed mix and youth is not suited for apartment living. Cats and really small dogs are a pass for this sweet boy who has a big body and a big spirit as well. He's joined the hiking team and loves to walk and adventure in true shepherd spirit with his people. With regular exercise, stimulation, and love, Tortuga promises to give his whole heart in return. Tortuga is ready to begin his next chapter in his forever home.<br/>*Sleepover feedback: "He's friendly and curious on walks. I was pleasantly surprised with how great he is with leash walking! He's a bigger dog but he doesn't even pull! We also did some light jogging and it was great. He kept pace with me. He did this very sweet thing where he would constantly look at me for reassurance during a walk/jog, as if making sure he wasn't going too fast for me. He had no issues with the crate and he loves sitting by the window and gazing outside". <br/>*Additional feedback: "Loves to walk and hike, he doesn't pull on the lead but he is a brisk walker<br/>-slept like a baby in the crate, did not resist going into the crate, did not bark or whine during the night.-very comfortable with household noises such as vacuum, blender, microwave-enjoys laying by the door and looking out windows-very calm and laid back, he's such a great dog and is going to make a family very happy"!
