"MACK" plus videos

  animal ID WCG-A-1646

Dog Shelter, WCGHS Kennels

neutered male  Mixed Breed  $162.50

5Y/3M/3W  55 lb
 
Mack is a smart but goofy guy who loves to romp and play! He has lived with other dogs in the past, and one of his favorite activities is running around the yard playing chase. He can be nervous when left alone, so having a canine companion may help him be more comfortable when he stays at home while his family is out.

He is nervous with new people and gives a big alert bark when he sees them. Mack will need a patient adopter who understands his fear and is willing to continue his training to responsibly manage his behavior. He is very food motivated and such a hard worker!

Interested adopters should live in adult-only, single-family homes. Due to his fear and anxiety, Mack would struggle in shared housing such as apartments or townhouses.

Once he gets to know you, you’ll get to see his clever and fun-loving personality. If you’re looking for a smart pup, live a quiet life, and are willing to let him take things at his own pace, Mack is waiting for you!

"KAISER"  # 403537  Breed: German Shepherd  neutered male 3 yrs 6 mths 86 lbs
https://www.multcopets.org/adoptable/403537 
 
Meet Kaiser 🐾, a brilliant and sweet young German Shepherd looking for an active, loving home! Once this sweet boy settles in, he's a total cuddle bug who loves leaning in for affection, rolling over for belly rubs, and showing off his smarts-he already knows "sit" and "shake" and loves to play fetch 🎾! Because he's young and enthusiastic, he can get mouthy or jumpy when super excited, and he can get overstimulated when reacting to barriers like fence lines or kennel doors, though he quickly settles down with gentle, calm direction ❤️. With an adopter ready to provide consistent positive reinforcement and guidance for his jumpy/mouthy habits and barrier reactivity waivers, Kaiser will make a fiercely loyal, fun, and affectionate best friend!
