Description
Sweet Shep was picked up as a stray in the south and brought to a shelter in the south. Although staff at the shelter do everything they can to help the dogs in their care, with an overwhelming number of dogs arriving on a daily basis, they are unable to keep up. Recognizing that Shep was a special guy who deserved every chance to find a forever family, a plea for rescue help went out. When we heard that Shep needed help, we immediately put plans into place to help this guy move into the MAGSR family.
Shep is friendly, playful, and affectionate. He enjoys the company of his people and brings happiness to everyone around him. Good with dogs, Shep is happy to hang with a pack or be the sole focus of the family. Although we don't know much about Shep's past, we do know that he has a bright future. Living in an amazing foster family, Shep is learning the ins and outs of living in a home. He seems to already have a good understanding of the comforts of living in a home and absolutely loves to snuggle in with the pillows. He also seems to be house broken and crate trained. As is true of all dogs, Shep will thrive with structure, routine, and leadership. He is looking for a family that will also take him to training. Training will help Shep further develop his good canine skills. It will also help him develop a healthy, lifelong bond with his forever family. If sweet Shep sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today!
Updates
Things are going well with Shep. He is a nice boy. Shep is good about letting us know when he needs to go out. Trying to get him to use the bells like our dogs do. Anyway, he is going to make a wonderful addition to someone’s home. Super affectionate, so endearing, loves to snuggle, generally pretty good on leash, will sit, agreeable about going into his crate. I have been crating him an hour or so during the day ‘just because’ and also having him sleep in cage late night to morning. We gave him a bath yesterday which he begrudgingly admitted felt good. He is also friendly to people who have stopped by and also with 5 grandchildren separately meeting him, ages 4-14. I believe he might have a pretty healthy prey drive as he is obsessed and so focused if seeing a yard squirrel or chipmunk. He’s really a sweet guy.
