Steph

Hi, I'm Steph! I am a 6 month old, neutered male, Shepherd mix who currently weighs around 33 pounds, but will be 60-70 pounds as an adult. I am a rambunctious young fellow who loves to run around the play yard here at the shelter. I am looking for a very experienced adopter, who will help me work on my manners- especially my impulse control. When I see something I want, I can be very persistent to get it! I'd do best in a household with no smaller animals, as I tend to want to herd them, which could be stressful for the little guys. I have also known to be vocal when I want something- again, with more training and overall socialization, I can learn to be more patient. I would do best in a home with kids over the age of 8 and with folks who have had large breed experience before. If I sound like I could be the best new pup for you, bring the entire household- including any resident dogs, to meet me Steph ID#A0981148.
I recently spent time with on of my PHS friends! Here's how I did:
I think Steph is growing up to be a pretty swell young guy. He's playful, affectionate, and respectful in the yard. He walks nicely on leash. He seems like he's always looking to do the right thing - checking in with me and offering sits. He's confident, people-oriented, and trainable. I think he would make a great partner for a dog sport like agility.
