    KING # 390479  Breed: Dutch Shepherd  Neutered male, 1 yr 10 mths 78 lbs
     
    courtesy volunteer
     
     
    Meet Jacob, a young Dutch Shepherd mix who is as smart as he is striking. 🐾 Like many of his breed, King is a bit of a "thinker" he can be fearful in new situations and is slow to open up to strangers. He prefers to observe from the sidelines until he knows he's safe, but once that trust is earned, you have a partner for life. 🛡️ True to his heritage, Jacob is a high-energy athlete who thrives on having a job to do. 🏃‍♂️ He is incredibly intelligent and needs plenty of mental stimulation to keep his sharp mind occupied. Whether it's puzzle toys, nose work, or hiking, King is ready to put in the work-he just needs a patient, experienced handler to help him navigate the world with confidence. 🌳

    courtesy volunteer
     
    Meet Gary, a charming and playful guy who is ready to find his perfect teammate! This sweet boy can start out just a little bit shy when meeting new friends, but it only takes a moment for his warm, affectionate personality to shine through. Once he feels comfortable, Gary loves nothing more than a good game of fetch-he will happily chase after toys and bring them right back to you for round two.
     
     He is a total gentleman on the leash, walking beautifully and making outdoor adventures an absolute breeze. When it's time to wind down from playtime, Gary is a big fan of affection; he'll gladly trot over to accept all the chest and back scratches you're willing to give. He also has some great social skills, showing a very tolerant and polite side around other dogs, and he even enjoys initiating a good old-fashioned play bow when he's in a playful mood. If you're looking for a well-mannered, fun-loving companion to brighten up your days, Gary is ready to pack his bags and head home with you!
