I need some help (thoughts, suggestions) from everyone on helping to place a foster dog I have here. Hunter is about 11 months old and came to me as a foster from a shelter as an owner turn in two months ago. He spent about a month in the shelter and was adopted 3 times and returned. He is a German shepherd/lab mix but is all German shepherd on the inside and mostly on the outside. He has so much potential but is way to much dog for most anyone. I have been getting him ready to be adopted into his forever family. He has very high drives (ball, tug, and prey), boundless energy, very biddable, very loving, confident and a total goof ball. He knows all his basic commands, crate trained, house broken, gets along well with other dogs big and small and respects “our” cats. Seems to enjoy kids and respects them. He knows how to fetch, tug, out, use a tread mill and run with a bike. I been trying to make him as adoptable as possible and have taught him ways to use up his physical and mental energy. He would excel at fly ball, agility, any sport work. He has more drive then my working Mal and cattle dog put together. I need ideas on how/ where to place him. I have no real access to contact someone who would want a working dog. He’d be a great family dog with the right person/family. I just worry he’ll be returned over and over again for being “him”. He could do detection work he do anything for his Kong. I take him every where and he is wonderful. Nothing seems to faze him. Any ideas how I can find him the right forever home? Anything I can do to make him more adoptable?
Thanks,
Sue and Hunter
