Herbie is the big brother and best friend we all wanted in high school. He is handsome, athletic, smart, and has a genuinely good heart. He’s a little slow to trust new humans, but once he knows you, he’s extremely loyal. He is dog selective and may get along with a laid-back medium to large FEMALE dog, but not male dogs. He has a strong prey drive, so no smaller dogs or cats. If you are looking for a dog with movie-star looks, loves to play, and has a beautifully noble character, then waste no time in applying to adopt Herbie! He is ready for his loving forever home!
Herbie is a ~3 1/2-year-old, 60 lb Shepherd/Hound mix. He is a very active dog and needs lots of exercise (and not in a dog run or park with other dogs). He is NOT a couch potato, so he needs a home with a 6-foot fenced backyard and active, engaged, savvy dog humans. His foster mom says: “He is completely housebroken, can follow basic commands; sit, stay, come. He will sit and await permission before eating. He loves walks and requires a lot of exercise, I usually walk him about 4 miles a day. He is affectionate in his own way. He will put his nose right in your face and just stay there! He will also put his head in your lap or push it into your hand when looking for attention. Herbie doesn't love the car because he hasn't experienced it very much.”
Ideal Home
Herbie needs a home with a 6-foot fenced backyard and active, engaged, savvy dog humans. He requires a lot of exercise. His ideal home would have another confident, friendly, playful dog friend as a role model because he is a bit shy and will need to adjust. He has a strong prey drive, so no small dogs or cats.
Ongoing Health
Herbie is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.
Training & Support
Herbie is completely housebroken and can follow basic commands: sit, stay, and come. He will sit and await permission before eating. He doesn't love the car because he hasn't experienced it very much, so he will need positive reinforcement and continued exposure.
