A little about them
Vader is a gentle, easygoing 7-year-old black-and-brown German Shepherd mix who weighs 60 pounds. After losing his home, he was left at a shelter and is now in foster care in Fort Worth, Texas. This short, chunky boy enjoys walks, cuddling, and relaxing on the couch with his favorite people.
Ideal Home
Vader would thrive with a calm couple, single person, or family looking for a loyal companion. He does well with men and women and can be the only dog or live with an easygoing canine companion. He is friendly with male and female dogs but prefers calm dogs rather than puppies or hyperactive playmates. Older children are okay if they do not harass or jump on him. He prefers gentle play and is not suited for hikes.
A home without tie-outs or an electric fence is required.
Ongoing Health
Vader is neutered, heartworm negative, and up to date on all shots. His foster family is working with him on gradual weight loss.
Training & Support
Vader is crate trained and potty trained. He enjoys a relaxed routine with a walk or two, cuddling, and settling in for a quiet evening.
