6yo, 40lb Hobbs is a sweet little guy. He was a rescue that has done well in our household for years until the recent arrival of our baby. The transition has not gone well and he deserves to have a home where he can receive the love and attention he needs. He does well with routine and a job to do, fetch is his favorite, has no prey drive, crated at night but will sleep whether door is open or closed, walks well on a leash, indifferent to other dogs in passing, house trained but needs structure. Very smart, very trainable. Would not do well in a home with babies/toddlers Important - Experience with working dogs will serve you well - the maintenance of these types of breeds is unlike most others and it is important that negative reinforcement to control behavior is not used.

ZoeyFemaleAge: 2-3 yearsWeight: 72 lbsBreed: German Shepherd Hi, I’m Zoey! I’m an intelligent, curious, and sweet girl who’s ready to find my forever home! I’m house trained, crate trained, and walk nicely on a leash. I do really well in my crate and don’t mind spending some time there to relax. I’ll bark now and then, just to let you know what’s going on — but nothing excessive. I’ve met a few other dogs in my foster home. I mostly do my own thing, but I can be a bit particular about which pups I vibe with so slow and gentle introductions to other dogs so I feel comfortable would be best. I haven’t been around cats or kids yet to know how I would do around them. I’m just learning what toys are — I’ve started to enjoy chewing on a bone, but I’m still figuring out what to do with things like balls. I love being petted and getting attention from my people. I also look pretty majestic if I do say so myself — I’ve got a shiny coat, and when I run in the yard, I glide like a total showstopper. I’m a smart girl with a lot of love to give, and I’m looking for someone who’s ready to share that with me. I have a lot of energy and would do best with an active family who can keep up with me and give me the mental and physical stimulation I need to thrive. If you’re looking for a loyal, active, and affectionate companion to have all to yourself, I just might be your perfect match. If you are interested in meeting Zoey apply to adopt her at www.causeforcanines.org Adoption fee: $350. Must be an Ohio resident & 23 or older. Children must be 5 or older. ##2346524##
