MEET SHEP: 100% SWEETHEART, 0% UNDERSTANDING OF PERSONAL SPACE

Shep is two years old, and his favourite place is wherever his person happens to be.

He is a big, affectionate boy who immediately leans his entire body into you for love. A quick pat will not do; Shep is looking for the full snuggle experience!

A few things we love about Shep:

- He is incredibly affectionate and people-focused
- He takes treats very gently
- He is relatively quiet and settled indoors
- He is friendly and eager to meet visitors when introduced properly
- Responds well to redirection
- He has an excellent appetite, which makes training much easier
- He enjoys getting out for walks
- He occasionally forgets how big he is and tries to become one with his person
-Toys are fine—but people are much more interesting

Shep is young, smart and still learning the basics. He can jump, pull on leash and become overly enthusiastic when excited, but he is responsive and eager to engage. With consistency, positive reinforcement and someone willing to keep teaching him, he has so much potential.

SHEP’S IDEAL HOME
Shep would do best with:

-Someone comfortable handling a strong, energetic dog
- A person who wants a loving, devoted companion
- Continued work on basic obedience, leash manners and calm greetings
- A predictable routine with clear, consistent boundaries
- Calm introductions when new people visit
- A home where he can be the only dog

Shep has had very little appropriate socialization with other dogs, and being close to them can be overwhelming for him, particularly around male dogs.

He can also alert when unfamiliar people approach his space, especially men. When visitors are introduced to him properly, however, he has been friendly and excited to meet them.

Shep may still be learning his manners, but he already knows how to love with his whole heart and his whole body.

If you have been looking for an affectionate, goofy and loyal companion who will always be ready to lean in a little closer, contact the Humane Society of Kawartha Lakes to learn more about Shep.
