He was found wandering outside near an airport. His wonderful and patient rescue mama wouldn't give up on him and finally coaxed him to come to her. We were lucky enough to be able to speak with this great lady who took him in to learn all about him. His markings and colorings are beautiful. Notice the heart on his face? It's as big as the heart in his chest. Shep loves to be around humans and other dogs. He is quiet, reserved, and just wants to be part of the group. He wants to be your buddy! He loves the outdoors and is easily getting used to walking on a leash. He enjoyed playing in the snow for the short time he could before it melted. We are working on basic commands like sit and come. He's not much for treats or toys, yet. Unless it is a Nylabone with peanut butter. He loves pets and belly rubs the most. He'd sit by you for hours if you just give him love and attention. Shep is one of those "Once in a Lifetime" kind of dogs, he's simply perfect in every single way! He enjoys walking with his foster sister, Nova, a yellow lab. He is currently living with 2 other female dogs and is fitting right in. Sometimes they even wrestle! Right now he is trying to figure out what dog bed he likes the best. He has done well going for car rides, sitting handsomely on the seat, and looking out the window. At his previous foster home in Tennessee, he had a 5- year- old girl whom he adored. About Me: Hi! My name is Shep and I just got here from Tennessee. I had a great foster mama who took wonderful care of me, but thought I'd find my furever home here in Minnesota. I was the first one she let go from her care to Mending Spirits (so don't let her down). I love the outdoors and like to play. I'm learning to sit and come when called, but it's new for me, so be patient. Going for walks is wonderful because there are so many smells and trees for me to investigate and water! I love being by your side, but I know I need my own space too. I don't mind being in my crate-so if you have to go to work, I'll be ok. But don't think I'm not going to love you up when you come home. Are you my furever family? I'd love to meet you! February 27, 2025, 2:32 pm
