Meet Cruz. Cruz is a young Dutch Shepherd mix with serious athletic drive. He’s happiest when out and about—this isn’t a dog looking for a sleepy home life. Give him a ball, set him in motion, and he’ll fetch for hours. Cruz is especially quick to bond with people he knows and is eager to show off his mastery of the basics: sit, stay, down, and place. He’s motivated by treats and quick to learn new things. He typically does well with other high-energy dogs, particularly females who match his play style. While laid-back lounging isn’t his specialty, adventure and activity bring out his best. Cruz is built for sports like Agility or Flyball and would thrive with someone who matches his energy. He’s affectionate in his own style—reward him when he gets it right, and he’ll give you his full focus. By the way, Cruz is an Aquarius, so he’s independent but forms deep connections once trust is earned. He’s in Palm Springs, CA, waiting for the right fit. Ready to fall in love?
