Story
Theo is extremely smart and active. He really needs an owner that is experienced with the working line dog breeds. We did a DNA test on him and these two breeds were highest percentage. In training, he has done very well. Before the GSD came in his DNA test, we would describe his disposition as more Malinois. If you love that working line dog, he would excel in agility and scentwork. He loves to train and do drill work. Theo would do very well in a home with a confident female dog. He plays and follows the lead of a female dog in his training program. Seems to push back more with a male dog playmate. No cats at this time, but he is getting worked around cats to "leave it" . Any questions you have, please message us or fill out an application on our website www.promiserescue.org

Story
Cooper was. Adopted from a county shelter a year and a half ago. We promised never to bring him back there. We tried for a year and a half to get him to get along with our other dog. He would be happier to live in a home with no other dogs He is a good listener, eager to please. Knows basic commands and will guard your property with a bark that’s louder than his little body. He is submissive to the Alpha human of the house, male or female. He’s probably been thru a lot, He will chase cars and so, needs to be on a leash at all times. We walk him at night when it’s quiet and there’s less cars. He is crate trained and his crate will go with him. It is his safe space and sanctuary. He is also a cuddle bug and will keep you warm in bed, if you allow it. Otherwise, he’s fine with sleeping in his crate. He loves toys, will do anything for a treat. He’s good at playing fetch 50% of the time. He will carry around his favorite toy like a baby. He is a good boy who needs a better home.

Meet Traviezo, a fun-loving 2-year-old boy who’s looking for his forever home! He’s been dewormed and fully vaccinated, ready to bring joy to a new family. Traviezo’s playful energy is contagious, and he absolutely loves to burn it off with a good swim in the pool! While he can be a little anxious and cautious around new faces, give him about 10 minutes and he’ll show you his affectionate, loving side. Traviezo thrives in an environment where he feels secure, and although he does show some resource guarding with food, he’s a good-hearted pup who just needs understanding and patience. With the right guidance, his loyalty and sweet nature will shine through. If you’re an active family who enjoys outdoor fun and lots of cuddles, Traviezo could be your perfect match! Could you be the one to give this energetic sweetheart the love and stability he deserves? ##2206490##
