My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

 



DESCRIPTION:

Tahoe is a lucky guy. Picked-up as a stray and brought to a shelter that was significantly over capacity for care, this guy was living on borrowed time. As shelters across the country are overflowing and not enough families are stepping forward to adopt, many animals do not make it out. When a family did not step forward for Tahoe, it seemed like his fate was sealed. Fortunately, another rescue had a temp foster open up and Tahoe was pulled from the shelter right before he was euthanized. Although it was known that a breed specific rescue would be needed in the future, the rescue began working with Tahoe to ensure that his medical needs were met. Tahoe had his vetting updated and his heartworm treatment completed while living with an amazing foster family. They loved him but knew that with treatment complete, it was time to move Tahoe forward. When asked if we could be the next stop on Tahoe's journey, team MAGSR stepped forward and welcomed this handsome boy to the family. 

Tahoe is an absolute sweetheart. Easy to leash, gentle with treats, and beyond happy to lean into the handler for love and attention, this guy simply steals your heart. Clearly well-socialized with people, Tahoe understands that company is nice to have. However, as is true with many shepherds, he prefers a little time to get to know new people and adjust to new environments. Having lived in a foster home, Tahoe has had the opportunity to learn many of the ins and outs of living in a household. He is housebroken and crate trained. He has even had the chance to live with other dogs and did very well. Friendly and affectionate, Tahoe seems to have a nice foundation. As he moves forward, Tahoe will benefit from continued controlled socialization with new people and in new environments. Although he already knows some basic commands, such as, sit, down, and shake, he will benefit greatly from training. Training will be key to his success. Not only will it help him create a healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the confidence and skills needed to become a good canine citizen. 

Tahoe is looking for a forever family that enjoys a moderate energy guy, treats, and daily belly rubs. If this sweetheart sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today!
