About Shady (5mo PUPPY)

Hi there! My name is Shady, and I'm an adorable 5-6 month old male Shepherd mix with a whole lot of love to give. My siblings and I had a rough start, found abandoned on a rural road, but a kind soul brought us to safety. Now, I'm ready for a family to teach me all about the good life! I'm a curious pup, and my mixed breed is a mystery – wouldn't it be fun to find out what makes me so special with a DNA test? I'm a bundle of energy and a bit of a blank slate when it comes to doggy manners, so I'm looking for a patient adopter to guide me.

Ideal Home

I'll do great with kids, other dogs, and even cats! I'm ready for a commitment of 10-15 years filled with love, laughter, loyalty, and adventure.

Ongoing Health

All dogs in our care are up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm testing, and monthly preventatives. I will also be spayed or neutered before adoption. Puppies under 6 months will have a spay/neuter contract with a fee refund upon documentation.

Training & Support

I'm a puppy and know nothing about civilized doggy behavior yet! I'll need a patient adopter to teach me house and crate training, and eventually, I'd love to earn my PhD in obedience skills.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
  • An application must be submitted before scheduling an appointment to meet me.
  • Due to high email volume, applications receive priority.
  • All rescue work is done by volunteers, so please be respectful of their time.

Transportation

I am currently being fostered near Nashville, TN, and I am available for transport to approved adopters. A transport fee will apply.
