Meet Pretzel! 🌟 This handsome dude is an absolute gem at 50-60 lbs and just 1.5 years young. He’s a delightful mix of Shepherd and Golden, rescued from the streets of Southern California. This little adventurer was found with a broken leg after a car incident, but thanks to some amazing rescuers who got him the surgery he needed, he’s healed and ready to conquer the world! 🐶✨ Pretzel is not just any pup; he’s an athletic superstar with limitless energy! If it’s active and outdoors, Pretzel is in! Whether it's swimming, fetch, tug-of-war, hiking, or running, he brings his A-game! Throw him an orange Chuck-It ball, and you’ll see those adorable ears perk up in pure excitement. If you're looking for a buddy who can keep up with your adventurous spirit, Pretzel is your guy! 🎾🏞️ However, this dynamic boy needs a dedicated and patient human who meets his high-energy needs. He thrives in a structured environment with plenty of daily stimulation. Pretzel is like a big puppy at heart, so he’ll need several hours of exercise and enrichment each day. Remember, he is a smart cookie who can get a bit overstimulated, so clear boundaries will help him settle down after all the fun! Guess what? He’s been training with a fantastic trainer for the past 9 months, and he’s ready to continue his learning journey with you. His trainer fellow thinks he could be an awesome agility dog! How exciting is that? 🦮💨 Pretzel has such a sweet disposition, especially with other playful dogs and people! He's more about the adventure than the cuddles; this energetic fella prefers playtime over snuggles. But don't let that fool you! In the home, he’s a big goofy heart and enjoys crate time, place work, and regular breaks to decompress. When he meets new friends, he may get a bit too excited at first but quickly redirects with engaging play! Now, just a little heads-up: Pretzel would do best in a home without kitties or young kids due to his playful, mouthy nature at times. But he absolutely adores other active pups! Whew! 🐕❤️ Pretzel will be the ultimate companion for someone who values adventure and enjoys training. He’s ready to bring joy and enthusiasm into the right person’s life! Currently residing in Southern California, there aren't enough adopters in his area who can keep up with this energetic boy. But no worries; the marvelous Summit Dog Rescue is here to help find him the perfect forever home. Arrangements can be made for him to come to Colorado if needed! For more information and to take the step to adopt Pretzel, you must *apply through the Buddy App*! 📲🐾 This wonderful guy is waiting for a soulmate just like you!
