Meet Socrates. He arrived as a tiny pup with his mother Amara and ten siblings, landing in rescue at only six days old. Smart is an understatement—Socrates figures things out quickly and sometimes outsmarts the humans around him. He’s playful and loves a good tumble with his friends, but can settle into a nice stretch of quiet time and soak up affectionate head pats. High prey drive is part of the package: he should be matched with other large dogs if canine company is in the picture. He won’t fit well with cats or smaller animals. Socrates is best placed with someone experienced with large, intelligent dogs who can offer both structure and enrichment. Bonus points if there’s an established large dog already in the home; he tends to learn fast when another dog leads by example. His health is generally good, though he has Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI), so he’ll always need enzyme powder mixed into his meals—three feedings a day keeps him healthy and thriving. He’s not house trained yet, so that’s an area for you to work on together, and he’ll need patience as he settles into a new routine. Born February 19, Socrates is a Pisces—a pup with loyalty and big feelings. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, and energetic companion who loves both romping and relaxing, Socrates will repay your efforts and care in spades. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
