Notes from Dog Gone Seattle Rescue

Animal Information: Walker is an estimated 9-month-old neutered male Doberman/German Shepherd mix with engaging eyes and an incredible personality. Walker did great in shelter play groups with large and small dogs, and is social and friendly with everyone on the staff. This handsome boy is respectful of space and walks well on leash. We can't wait to meet him!

Foster Profile: Some dogs you just know have all the makings of a fantastic companion. This boy is one of those! He absolutely loves to play -- fetch, tug, you name it. If you're not free for a game, he'll play by himself tossing his toys into the air! He is gentle and engaging with kids (as young as 4) and not particularly mouthy. He is learning crate training and house training and will be a quick study for obedience training because he's so eager to please. He already walks well on a leash. He does great with the pack of four dogs (male, female and a puppy) in his foster home but he's excitable on leash so will need training for public access. He's not aggressive to livestock (goats/chickens) and we expect he'd do great with cats too. His ideal family wants an active companion and is committed to training to make sure this big boy will be fulfilled and well-behaved. Apartments considered only with adequate exercise plans and no breed restrictions.

Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, any indicated preventative care, heartworm test, microchip with lifetime registration, and recent health check with a veterinarian. Adoption fee may be tax deductible as Dog Gone Seattle is a 501c3 organization (ID 81-5101166).
