Mookie is a 4-year-old Shepherd with a gentle heart and a strong desire for affection. He’s a sweet, lovable boy who thrives on human interaction and enjoys being the center of attention, leaning in for pets and scritches at every opportunity. Mookie’s interactions with volunteers showcase his affectionate nature, often nudging for more pets and even resting his head on laps to soak up all the love he can get.
Mookie walks well on a leash and has shown great improvement over time. He’s quite treat-motivated, making training and engagement activities a rewarding experience for him. Mookie doesn’t know many commands yet, but he is eager to learn and responds well to food-based rewards. He continues to enjoy exploring yards and going on walks, with a particular fondness for sniffing and investigating his surroundings. He’s happiest when he’s getting plenty of attention and love, often rolling on his back in delight or nudging for more scritches.
Despite his generally calm and affectionate demeanor, Mookie is still learning to navigate the world confidently. He can be a bit cautious in new environments, especially busy streets or when encountering unfamiliar noises like loud buses or flags flapping. However, he’s curious and brave, taking his time to evaluate what’s ahead and often proceeding with encouragement. Mookie’s gentle, loving personality shines through even when he’s feeling uncertain, and he seeks reassurance through close contact and affection.
Overall, Mookie would be a fantastic companion for someone looking for a loyal and affectionate dog who enjoys quiet moments of affection as much as he does exploring the world around him. He’d thrive in a home where he can receive plenty of love, patient guidance, and a calm environment to help him build his confidence. If you’re looking for a sweet, loving Shepherd to complete your family, Mookie is ready to fill that role with all the affection and loyalty he has to offer!
