My story

Hello my name is Vans! I am a Shepherd mix puppy and should grow to be med/large sized.  I was born approximately 12/7/24 and was 33 pounds at 5 months old.  I am a very happy go lucky kind of guy who enjoys playing with his foster sisters.  As a typical puppy, I’ve loved all the people and dogs that I have met.   I am very intelligent as my previous foster parents had me go through a two week puppy training class.  My current foster mom is working on my training with me. I am highly treat motivated. I know how to ‘kennel’/’house’, ‘sit’, ‘come’ and ‘leave it’ (mostly, I’m only a puppy after all).  I am working on ‘quiet’ as I am very vocal with my communication. A home with shared walls is not suggested for my communication style.  I am working hard on potty training (currently at 90%), and benefit from a consistent schedule.  I have a ton of energy and would prefer an owner who loves to play or a playmate to wear me out.  One of my current foster parents works from home so I am not kenneled much during the day, but I am kenneled all night long and I will let you know when I have to use the bathroom.  I have been sleeping steady at night for about 7-8 hours so far.  My favorite activities include playing with my foster sisters, squeaky toys, chewing on nylabones, and napping on the couch or dog beds. I cannot wait to find my forever family!  Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee:  $595.00 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 22, 2025, 9:11 am
