Description:
Meet Uno, the charming 4 to 5-month-old pup who'll be ready to find his forever home soon! Although he has a sweet and gentle temperament allowing him to make friends quickly, including kids and dogs, his deep bark and wagging tail is confusing when he initially approaches people to say hello. Shepherd people realize that he's a puppy who needs a little bit of work on greetings since he's also a treat connoisseur, immediately dropping his bravado for treats. Giving kisses and snuggling into legs waggging his tail like a helicopter propeller after treats shows us that he needs to learn proper meeting etiquette. We see that he hasn't experienced much in life since he approaches new things like parked motorcycles and unknown objects making sure to make himself big and loud, only to realize when he sniffs them its not scary at all. This lovable little guy who's shelter name was Bing has quickly made himself at home in his foster family. His favorite things? Toys, soft beds, and cozy cuddles! Uno didn’t waste any time settling into his new plush bed and radiates happiness in a warm environment. Since he didn't know his shelter name, his foster family named him Uno after his ears on arrival. And those ears are now finding their way to stay upright. His favorite toy is a soft frisbee although he's partial to all kinds of toys. He loves chasing balls but hasn't made the connection to bring it back for a game of fetch. When given the oppurtunity, Uno loves to hang out in the yard taking in the fresh air and the sounds of the neighborhood. Since he's of the age where he could get into trouble eating the flowers and general mischief, he's supervised in the fenced yard. Despite being the only dog in his foster home, Uno has proven to be a social butterfly! He recently spent the night with one of our wonderful volunteers and got along famously with their three dogs. He then had a fantastic time playing with Otte and Murphy (our adoptable puppies) and respectfully interacted with older resident shepherds during a fun transport stopover. In his foster home, Uno lives with birds and has already won the hearts of the neighborhood kids, who come over to play with him daily. His affectionate nature and playful spirit make him an ideal companion for a family willing to guide Uno through more socialization and positive experiences. He's definitely in the mouthy stage right now with his foster family even finding a tooth on the floor as his adult teeth are coming in. He's gnawing on his toys and learning that human hands although soft and convenient to chew on, are not allowed. If you're looking for a sweet friend who loves to engage with kids and other dogs, Uno may be the perfect match for you! Meet him and see just how special he is!Uno has settled in learning about crate training, pottying in his designated area outside and has been getting lots of kibble to add weight to his frame. He's finished his antibiotics and has recovered from kennel cough that he was exposed to at the crowded shelter. Uno also has had a couple of baths to shed the shelter life behind him and had his nails trimmed. Our boy was just neutered and will chill for a few days recovering from surgery. He rides nicely in the car, settling in shotgun or with a doggy seat belt in the back seat as well as crated. Please consider adopting Uno only if you have the time and commitment to raise a young shepherd puppy into a well-rounded adult dog. Investing time in training Uno will also be beneficial as he's a lovely treat motivated blank slate and so ready to learn. Shepherd or similar working/herding dog experience will be necessary in becoming a forever match for Uno.Have you visited our YouTube channel?
