Story
This is Gio, PointyFace, GioSquarePants. He is a soul dog and everyone he meets feels his adoring energy. He is 2yrsish and had ruff beginnings. He is exceptionally trained, 5wk board and train, continued weekly day long adventures with his trainer and walks about 3 miles or so a day. He walks well, loves to jog. He will come to you with e-collar, crate, place cots, and a training session $250 homing fee to cover training session where you will learn his language for successful transition. He loves belly rubs, truck rides, walks, ball, brushes. He is so good and lovely. We never tested him around children (ignores on walks though), cats, or small dogs. He is not the reg high energy of a Belgian as he has joint stiffness. He is super sweet and submissive though shows some aggression towards male, unfamiliar dogs. He would love to lay at your feet and follow you around with a smile on his face.

Story
Forest was abandoned with 2 other shepherds. At first he wouldn’t come into the house and now he doesn’t want to leave. He is estimated to be around 3 or 4 years old. He’s very dignified, loves to be petted. He is great around other dogs. He does have an issue with going on a leash which we are working on. He seems to have had a traumatic past but now he is learning that life is good. Please get in touch if you are interested to know more about this beautiful boy. He is fully vaccinated and has a neuter appointment coming up on 08/13 so would not be officially adopted until he is neutered.
