DNA Tested: 75%% German Shepherd; secondary breed White Swiss Shepherd

Animal Profile: Sherbert is an estimated 1 1/2 year old male shepherd mix weighing approximately 70 lbs who spent five weeks along with his litter mates in a crowded shelter; one of the pups was adopted but four remained languishing for weeks, so they've joined us in Seattle. They were spared euthanasia for space due to their sweet and social nature and they are friendly with all dogs and people.

Foster Update: Sherbert is a sweet, loyal, goofy boy who makes friends with everyone he meets. His adorable, big ears tune into everything happening around him. He has great energy and loves playing with all the toys and is down for any adventure! Sherbert loves to be outside and would enjoy a securely fenced yard to run around in. He can be high energy but has an off switch and after a good romp is happy to settle in by his humans feet. He is crate and potty trained. He would be okay as an only dog or with a canine companion. He has not been around cats but does not exhibit high prey drive, he can be cat tested upon request. He is good with the kids in his foster home and has done well with kids of all ages, older (non toddler) dog saavy kids would be ideal in his forever home. His ideal family would also have large breed experience and will continue his training.

Medical Info: Sherbert has a diagnosis of low grade Megaesophagus; he is thriving with eating three smaller rehydrated meals daily from an elevated food bowl. We believe he will have a normal life expectancy with continued dietary and lifestyle management in the home.

Adoption Info: The adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations, flea/tick prevention, deworming, microchip and registration, heartworm test for dogs over 6 months, and recent vet exam. Your adoption fee may be tax deductible as Dog Gone Seattle is a 501c3 organization.
