|  Adopted
October 2005. Shamus is
a mild-mannered, 1.5 year old, neutered, male German
Shepherd Dog. Although he loves to play
fetch, he isn't a hyper young dog and
never jumps on people,
even when excited.
He knows commands such as sit, shake, lay
down, get in crate, and will
drop a ball upon request.
Shamus is submissive with dominant
dogs, but
isn't fearful or shy. He cannot be in a home with
cats (he likes them a little too much). Shamus
plays wonderfully with the 1 year old female
dog in his foster home. (Wrestle
mania all
day long!). Shamus is also respectful of the 7
year old male and 12 year old female dog in his
foster home.
Shamus takes
treats
gently from a 2 year old human child and loves to
sleep in bed with his humans. He
responds well on leash, but tends to pull when excited,
so, like any new dog, he will need
obedience training.
Shamus is currently working on his potty training
and is very ashamed when he has an
accident in the house. He is starting to understand
that eliminating
outside in front of a person is okay (he apparently
prefers a little privacy!).
Shamus is looking for a doting home, preferably
with at least one human that will be with him
most of the day. He is a
sweet, loving, gentle, gorgeous boy and would
make a great addition to a quiet and home-centered
family.
     
A special thank you to
Shamus' sponsor: Steve
Hitz in fond memory of Gretchen.
