Johnny is about two years old and a shepherd mix with a resilient past—he and his littermates were left at a shelter as tiny pups, but a rescue scooped them up and bottle fed the whole crew. Some of Johnny’s siblings have already found their homes. Johnny is still waiting. His early days in a shelter meant he wasn’t used to home life, but he’s caught on quickly in his foster environment. Stairs, trails, hikes, even a resident cat—Johnny’s adapted to all of it with an eager, open attitude. He started out nervous about people but has turned into a softie who seeks out touch. Crate-training took, and nowadays, he’ll choose to nap or rest there on his own. He’s learning patience and manners around meals and doors, and shows real focus when food is on the line. Johnny gets along well with other dogs and knows how to meet new canine friends the right way. He could thrive with another confident dog or even a relaxed cat for company, and he’d do best with a backyard to burn off energy. He hasn’t lived with kids, so an adult home is recommended. The right adopter will keep working with him—socialization, outdoor adventures, and a steady routine will help him keep thriving. He’s ready for someone who sees his potential and wants a loyal buddy for the long haul. Click apply to start the adoption process.
