About Lennox

Lennox, a German Shepherd–Malinois mix born in October 2023, is a true character with a giant presence. After nearly 600 days in foster care, he's grown into a loyal companion who thrives on connection and routine. Lennox greets his people with pure joy—whether they're gone for hours or just a quick trip to the store. His tail wags, the tennis ball comes out, and he'll nudge for every bit of your attention. He demands it and thrives on it, so expect to spend real time together when you get home. He's active, athletic, and best suited for a family that will match his energy. Lennox shares his foster home with an older dog, showing patience and deference—unless treats are on the line. Apartment life isn’t the right fit for him. He takes guarding seriously and needs a fenced yard to patrol and play safely. He’ll keep your home in proper order with his protective streak. Cats and small children aren’t a fit for Lennox, given his prey drive and strong, bouncy nature—he could easily bowl them over in play. Out on walks, his excitement around other dogs shows, so he benefits from ongoing training to help him dial it back. He’s a total bed hog, and not above negotiating his spot with the right treat. Lennox prefers being with his people at all times; crate training wasn’t his favorite. He’s looking for someone ready for a high-voltage, assertive, affectionate dog.
