Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Star Running Back Looking For All Star Team
Sheldon's DNA results are in!
If you guessed Shepherd and Husky you get a C+ (that's what we guessed so we're not being any harder on you). If you also guessed the ubiquitous breeds of Lab and American Staffordshire Terrier, you get a B+. If you went even further and saw dashes of White Swiss Shepherd and Bichon Frise, well then you get an A. And if you have ever heard of and suspected Nederlandse Kooikerhondje too, well then you're a genius and get an A++.
DNA test aside, we know a fantastic dog when we see one, and Sheldon fits that bill. Roughly 1.5 years old, neutered, up to date on vaccines with a clean bill of health Sheldon is ready to be recruited! His list of attributes is too long to cover here but the short version includes: Quick (both physically and intellectually :-), fun, and affectionate. Sheldon is one of those guys who actually listens, so if you are talking to yourself, just know there's a brain in the background trying to process what you are saying. Sheldon has stellar "sit, wait, watch me'' and the coveted "come" skill (admit it, a dog that reliably comes when you call him is pretty awesome :-). While Sheldon is wary of some, but not all strangers (read alarm barks) - he warms up quickly with treats and assurance this is not an intruder! If it is an intruder, Sheldon will admittedly make such a loud racket, said intruder, will quickly retreat.
It likely goes without saying that there are very few encounters where the subject of Sheldon's eyes does not come up. The aforementioned DNA test results predicted "this dog may have blue eyes," and well...yes!!! He's a joy to walk on the coastal trail, is a great hiking buddy, and fits well into spontaneous off-leash dog romps cause he's great with dogs big and small, and has a special skill of making besties everywhere he goes. Any children in the home should be 11+ as Sheldon likes to run at high speeds and is fond of steeplechase type games (which you and your little ones just don't need). Cats are not recommended as he strikes us as a little too interested in our feline friends.
If you are looking to add an active, heart throb kinda guy to your home, ideally one with another dog(s) he can bestie-up with, please fill out Sheldon's adoption application here: https://forms.gle/3qBBXgNk36pP529H9
