My story

Meet Whisper! READ ALL ABOUT WHISPER'S STRAYCATION! HOUSE-TRAINED, CRATE-TRAINED, GOOD WITH KIDS & GREAT IN THE CAR! Agile and affectionate, this 1-year-old, 42-pound kelpie/lab mix is everything you could ask for in a best friend! Whisper is back at the kennel after enjoying a few days away in an awesome foster home. They said he was the best house guest! Whisper is ready to so long to kennel life and find a family that adores him. We are still looking for a full-time foster for this energetic boy. This impressive pup is already crate-trained and house-trained! He enjoys the company of other dogs and tends to have an all-in playstyle with them. Whisper was interested in playing with the family cat and we think he could do well with a dog-savvy cat in the home. Whisper spent some time with some older kids while he was away and became very fond of them! He had a blast playing fetch in the yard and will bring the ball back to you time after time. Whisper enjoys all toys and is a master at tug-of-war! Give this boy a variety of chew toys to keep him happily engaged and you'll have one delighted dog! His foster family was able to take both food/toys away with no issue. When it comes to treats, he sits nicely and appreciates all sorts of tasty morsels. He is learning multiple commands and we have no doubt he will impress everyone he meets. Of course Whisper always makes time to snuggle with his adoring volunteers. He does well being bathed too! Whisper also attended our Tails & Trails 5k event and had the best day ever! He behaved perfectly and enjoyed meeting plenty of people and puppy pals. He ran with one of our volunteers for the 5k and enjoyed every minute of the day. Of course he made plenty of time to cuddle up with volunteers along the way. He has been overlooked for far too long! A family that can provide lots of daily exercise and continued training is a must for Whisper. He's a very athletic guy who could be excellent in agility or as a running buddy. He would love to be part of the action and needs a nice yard to explore in his new home. At the end of a fun-filled day, he sleeps quietly through the night. Based on our evaluation, we feel Whisper would do best in an active home with adults or families with kids ages eight and up. He may have the capacity to live in a home with other animals of a similar energy level and we are happy to do a meet and greet with your family fur baby! If you think he could be the pup for you, head to greatlakesdogrescue.com today and submit your application for our wonderful Whisper!

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Whisper, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
