Johnny Utah

Im Johnny, male, 2yrs, 55lbs, German Shepherd/Labrador Retriever mix (breeds verified with DNA test), neutered, vaccinated, & microchipped. Im potty, crate, leash, & car trained.

I am such a good boy, my Foster Mom cannot believe how easily I am melting into her pack. I have the best temperament, mild mannered, quiet, gentle, and sweet. My chestnut eyes are soulful and show you all my love. I am a quiet boy that seeks out my crate as a safe haven. I have such a mild energy level. Im happy to play and run outside, love walking on a loose leash in the neighborhood, and easily and willingly go in my crate for a nappy break during the day.

True to my Lab side, I am a playful and goofy boy. I playfully and gently bat my arms in the air when playing with other dogs or even when playing with a toy by myself! I am sure to keep you smiling every day. My GSD side has me more cautious with new humans. However, my curiosity luckily wins out, and I cant help but boop you on your elbow asking for some chin scratches and ear rubs. I warm up quickly with some love and patience. I am a loyal boy that will follow you all around the house, just wanting to be near you.

My Foster Mom is in awe of how well behaved and good natured I am even with my rough start in life. I was found abandoned on the side of the road in Mississippi. I started in the local shelter where I was named after Johnny Utah, the Keanu Reeves character, in the movie Point Break that played a federal agent undercover as a surfer boy. Why, you may ask? Rumor has it the person running the shelter is ex-CIA, how cool is that! After 5mo in the shelter I found myself on the euthanasia list and luckily was scooped up by Charlies Rescue and into a local foster home for 9mo. After no one inquired about adopting me, I made the journey North to my current foster home in Michigan. I'm looking for my dream home to include another friendly dog to follow and fenced in yard.

Apply to adopt me in Michigan through Charlies Rescue.
