Turk is about a year old and a shepherd mix with a laid-back, sweet nature. He’s still very much a puppy—expect some shepherd quirks like mouthing (he likes to put his mouth on everything), but he’s gentle and responds quickly to correction. Turk did well around a small child during a visit, though it’s smart not to leave young kids unsupervised with any puppy. For those picturing chaos: Turk is not one of those pups who’ll bowl over toddlers, but you’ll want to guide him just as you would any young dog. He’s up to date on rabies and core vaccines, and he’s heartworm negative. Out on walks, Turk shows classic shepherd focus: when you stop, he stops right by you and sits, calmly watching the world. He learns fast and wants to please—valuable traits for any adopter looking for a bright, eager buddy. Meet Mr. Turk and see for yourself why he makes a great companion. Start your journey together!
