My name is ASIAGO!

Meet Asiago!


Age: Estimated 4 years

Breed: Dutch Shepherd

Arrived: 8/30/24


Asiago is a sweet but shy Dutch Shepherd who’s looking for a patient and understanding home. He came to us with a history that suggests he’s had a tough start, including being found with a collar and a piece of a tether that he chewed through.


Personality:

Fearful with People: Asiago is cautious around new people and prefers minimal handling. He’s working on building trust and needs a gentle, patient approach.

Leash Skills: He’s improving with leash training but has very little experience and can still panic. Consistent, calm guidance will help him feel more secure.

Dog Selective: Asiago is fearful around other dogs and may panic and run away when overwhelmed. This reaction can sometimes trigger other dogs to chase him, so careful management and gradual introductions are essential.


Looking For:

Asiago will thrive in a home where his fearful behavior is met with understanding and patience. His ideal family will provide a calm environment, gentle handling, and consistent training to help him build confidence and feel safe. With the right support, Asiago has the potential to become a loyal and loving companion.
