Meet Scheppy, a big sweetheart with an even bigger heart, ready to give and receive endless love! This charming boy is housebroken, crate trained, and a quick learner, already mastering commands like "sit" and "shake," and even bell trained. Scheppy's enthusiasm for life is infectious; he absolutely adores playing with other energetic dogs and could chase a ball all day long. He's a social butterfly who shares his toys nicely and has even discovered a love for swimming!
As a German Shepherd Dog mix, Scheppy embodies the intelligence, loyalty, and active spirit of his breed. He thrives on engagement and mental stimulation, making him a rewarding companion for those who appreciate an intelligent and trainable dog. While he's a joy to be around, Scheppy is still a young dog in a large body, occasionally displaying puppy-like spatial unawareness and mouthing. His improved leash skills and ongoing recall training show his dedication to learning and his desire to please.
Scheppy is seeking an active home that can match his zest for life and commitment to continued training. He would flourish with a family that provides regular exercise, playtime, and consistent guidance. While he loves everyone, a home with older children who understand a large, energetic dog's playful nature would be ideal. If you're looking for a loving, smart, and active companion to join your adventures, Scheppy is eager to find his forever family!
