Tolkien is a 2-year-old German Shepherd/Lab mix who was found as a stray in St. Peters on 6/2/26. He is a very nervous, sensitive boy who is still learning that the world can be safe and kind.
Tolkien takes time to trust new people, but he has begun to trust a staff member, he has started coming out of his shell and seeking comfort from them. He can become very attached to his trusted person and may show signs of separation anxiety when they are not present.
He is partially potty trained and is sensitive to loud noises and sudden changes in his environment. Tolkien enjoys being outside and takes comfort in calm, predictable routines.
He loves high-value treats like cheese and hotdogs, which can help you win his trust.
In playgroup, Tolkien has shown limited initial interest in play but has participated in brief, gentle interactions with other dogs. He does best with calm, respectful dogs who allow him space and do not push for interaction. He benefits from slow introductions and a low-pressure environment.
Tolkien will need a very patient, quiet home who understands fearful dogs and is committed to helping him build confidence over time. A secure fenced yard is required due to his fear of loud noises.
With time, structure, and kindness, Tolkien has the potential to grow into a deeply loyal companion who bonds strongly with his trusted people. ????
