Male Dog, White Swiss Shepherd Dog (Swiss Berger)
White Swiss Shepherd Dog (Swiss Berger) / Mixed
Description:
Andres, a 2 y.o. 55-pound wintry white beauty brightens his foster home with his loving personality and grateful appreciation of the attention he receives in return. Sweet and oh-so-friendly, he LOVES snuggling and cuddling with his fosters, resting his head on them and rolling over for belly rubs. An endearing combination of easygoing and energetic, Andres is just as content to lounge around the house as he is to play with his toys (he adores all of his toys, including plush and chewer toys), chew on bones, and go for walks, honing his leash skills along the way. Wonderfully well mannered, he engages just as wonderfully with other friendly dogs of various sizes and ages, while his natural and innocent interest in the resident cat is easily redirected. Motivated by food, toys, and love, Andres currently knows “come,” “sit,” “down,” and “leave it,” and because he’s eager to please and loves all treats, he should be ever so easy to teach. At work on his house training, Andres may have a fear of crates due to past trauma, so he’ll need a patient and compassionate adopter to help him build trust and confidence in this area if crating is part of the plan. As he also works on managing some separation anxiety, Andres will thrive with an adopter committed to supporting his ongoing progress and ensuring he feels secure in his new home. All affectionate Andres needs now is an equally affectionate adoptive home, perhaps with a securely fenced yard, to complete his training, build his confidence, and ensure that he’s cuddled and snuggled fur-ever. Check out additional photos and videos of Andres here! Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure each pet finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails). If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you. The adoption fee for this pet is $375. Our adoption fee covers the following: Spay/neuter Microchip DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption. Please fill out an adoption application by clicking here . Please give us 48 hours to review your application and respond to you.
