Description
Rush was picked up as a stray in the south and brought to a shelter. Shelter staff immediately fell in love with this goofy, playful guy. However, due to overcrowding and lack of resources, they knew that Rush would have his best chance at finding the perfect forever home if he was moved into a rescue. When asked if we could help Rush find an amazing forever home, MAGSR stepped forward.
Wiggly and playful Rush is an absolute joy. Clearly well socialized with people, Rush is a charmer who loves to be with his people. Although Rush is clearly a sweet pup, he does still need to learn about personal space and boundaries. This is typical of any young GSD. In many ways Rush is still very much a puppy. He will fill his family's lives with goofy puppy behaviors and antics. As is true of all young dogs, Rush will thrive in an environment with structure, routine, and leadership. It will be essential that his family continue to socialize him in controlled settings. It is also critical that Rush's forever family exercise both his body and his mind on a daily basis. Training will help Rush as he moves forward. It will not only help him develop a strong and healthy bond with his family but it will also help him develop into a stable and confident adult. Rush is looking for an active family that will both enjoy his charming personality as well as provide him with a safe and loving forever home. Could that be with you?
Updates
Update: Rush is settling into his foster home well. This boy has oodles of puppy energy and is looking for a family that is excited to play, run, and train to exercise both his mind and body. He's still learning what is expected in a home and can be a bit mouthy, but he is learning quickly as we set boundaries for him. He is very affectionate, wanting to snuggle into our laps and be close with his people. He does very well in the crate while we are teleworking. He's not particularly fond of going into his crate yet, but he's learning and settles in quickly for a nap after some good play time or a walk. He walks nicely on leash, making the much needed walks a pleasure. He does very well with other dogs his size. He has not reacted to his alpha foster sister's sass and still wants to play with her after she tells him off which is very impressive! Sometimes he plays a bit rough and is still learning when other dogs are done, so supervision is important. As with most young dogs, he will chew on anything he can get in his mouth but we're working on learning what is and isn't allowed as a chew toy. Have I mentioned that he is beyond handsome? He's got these soft fluffy curls on his rump that we just adore! All in all, this young pup is a total blast, making us laugh with his adorable antics and impressing us with his intelligence. He's going to make a fantastic family member for some lucky family. Think Rush might be the right fit for your home? Apply to adopt today!
