Lupin is a 3-5 year old German shepherd that came to us as a stray from a local city kennel. He is extremely outgoing and friendly, and has not met a person that he didn't get along with! He loves to run and play, and would make an excellent addition to an active family that will take him along on their adventures!

Lupin's only real vice is that he is reactive towards other dogs, which we have been working on with the guidance of a trainer, and he is improving. However, he is not suitable for a home with other pups at this time. We do recommend that his new family continue his training, as he is incredibly smart, and we believe that this behavior can be greatly improved with work, consistency and time.

Lupin is good with cats, and enjoys curling up with them on his doggie bed for a nap, but he will also playfully chase them on occasion.

He does chase small critters like squirrels and rabbits in the yard, so a home with a fence is preferred for him.

Here's what Lupin's foster mom has to say about him; "Lupin is an energetic boy. He is always up for a game of ball or a walk. He gets along great with my cats; he kisses them every day! Sometimes they share his bed or he'll spar with one of them. If he gets too energetic, they have no problem putting him in his place! I am currently working on his behavior towards other dogs. He is very smart, therefore, he catches on quickly and is doing well with his training. Late at night when I want to relax and watch a movie or read, Lupin loves to hang out next to me and just chill."

Lupin is an awesome dog, and for anyone that is a fan of the breed; this guy is for you! He is fun, playful, smart and engaging. He has some things he needs to work on to be "perfect," but don't we all?? His trainer described him as brilliant, so we know he can learn just about anything that is asked of him! He is very focused on his person and looks to them for guidance, and he is extremely food motivated. He already knows the basic commands sit, paw and down, and we know he is capable of learning tons more! (And he loves to be challenged and loves to learn!) His new family should ideally keep his mind and body active, and also continue with his training. This guy does best with clear rules, plenty of exercise and guidance!

Lupin is house trained and is good at home alone unsupervised. He is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, heartworm negative, and on monthly flea/heartworm preventative. His adoption fee is $250.
