HI EVERYONE, (Located in Phoenix,Arizona Area)🐾Available for Adoption 🐾I rescued Vader from a kill Shelter AVAILABLE FOR About 2 months. This poor boy was so skinny. I have been rehabilitating him when I told him he was so skinny. I put some weight on him. His Coat is starting to get soft and shiny, an his nub tail is healing. (they don’t know what happened to his tail when I rescued him, but he’s got nub tail which gives him more character) He has a such a loving personality! Please see what I’ve written in bio below. 🖤💙❤️ IF ANYONE IS LOOKING TO ADOPT A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG SOLID BLACK SHEPHERD? THEN THIS IS YOUR BOY. Vader is a SOLID BLACK short hair German shepherd around 2 years old. He is on the smaller side. I’m so putting weight on him but currently he’s around 62 to 65 pounds. When I rescued him, he was 52 pounds so we will continue to put the weight on him healthy and slowly.
Health:
-He is Neutered.
-He is up-to-date on all his shots.
-Micro-chipped.
-He has tested CLEAR for Valley fever And healthy
(I have all of his Vet Records)
Temperament and personality:
-He’s a very sweet and smart boy. Learns quickly. Wants to please you. He gets along with most dogs, big and small. Unknown with cats, but he does fine with my 5 lb Chihuahua. He has medium drive. So he can be active. But mostly he’s a really BIG SNUGGLE BUNNY. He Loves to always be with you, around you, laying with me on the couch touching. He also likes to sleep in bed with me/you.
Training:
-He is crate trained and kennel trained. He is house trained. He walks on a leash pretty good. Doesn’t Pull. But I would encourage continue training of course to stay consistent. He would make the perfect companion for someone that’s looking for a loving dog that’s active or can be a couch potato. If you live in the Phoenix area we will refer you to 2 free training clubs we work with or refer you to trainers pay trainers or paid board and train facility.
WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR IN AN ADOPTER WOULD PROBABLY BE AN ACTIVE PERSON OR FAMILY WITH OLDER 8 + KIDS. Someone that can exercise him, but yet enjoy downtime with him. His back end is still sensitive due to his tail being removed. , So absolutely NO PUSHING ON HIS BACK END HE SITS PERFECTLY HE HAS MANNERS. I HAVE PUT MANNERS ON HIM. HE KNOWS HOW TO SIT WITH FOR A TREAT OR A TOY. (I SAY THIS BECAUSE I HAD TO TURN DOWN A POTENTIAL ADOPTER BECAUSE FIRST THING THEY DID which still boggles my mind, they came up from behind him and tried to make him sit and this is just a couple weeks after I got him and he’s very sensitive. He did not bite. He did not do anything aggressive at all. He just whimpered and squealed in pain) she/did a few other behaviors also that did not qualify her as a responsible and potential adapter. This is why we screen people. SO IF YOU ARE A HEAVY HANDED PERSON IN TRAINING OR WANT THE PERFECTLY TRAINED DOG, THIS IS NOT YOUR DOG. YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER PUSH DOWN ON A DOG’S BACK END. HIPS OR BACK for a variety of medical and health reasons. As well as it’s just not appropriate. This is not teaching the Dog anything! IF YOU THINK THIS WORKS TO TRY TO MAKE THEM SIT THEN YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING ABOUT MODIFYING AND PROPER TRAINING BEHAVIOR. That would be an automatic disqualify, obviously for me. THIS BOY IS REALLY GOOD. (it’s hard not to get attached to him). HE KNOWS HOW CRATE/KENNEL UP when asked. HE LIKES CAR RIDES. HE LIKES WALKS AND PLAYING. He LOVES to SNUGGLE TOO.
HE IS READY FOR ADOPTION NOW. If you’re interested, please send me a private message or email me information below and I will send you an Adoption application. And we can proceed from there. PLEASE GO THROUGH ALL THE PHOTOS. Thank you.
You can also email me at [email protected] or send me a private message.
