🌟 Meet Vlad! 🌟 This 4-year-old German Shepherd is ready to find his forever home filled with love, laughter, and head scratches! 💖 Vlad's journey began at Evansville Animal Care & Control, where he quickly stole hearts and found a home. Unfortunately, he was returned due to some challenges connecting with a specific adult man in the household, likely linked to past trauma. But let me tell you, that’s not a reflection of his gentle spirit! 💔 Right now, Vlad is thriving at the shelter, showering everyone with affection and joy! His love for life shines through as he interacts with kids (10 and older), women, and other dogs. 🐾 He’s a bundle of sweetness and energy, always ready for a game of fetch or a nice long walk in the sunshine. Vlad carries his stuffed animals everywhere—what a heartwarming sight! 🦴 Not only is he house trained, crate trained, and knows his way around a leash, but he’s also up-to-date on all vaccines, microchipped, and neutered. Plus, he excels at basic commands like sit, stay, heel, and down! 🐶 If you’re looking for a companion who’s smart, playful, and protective, look no further! Now, it’s important to note that Vlad may need a special home without certain adult men until he becomes more comfortable with them. This sweet boy deserves the patience and understanding of a loving adoptive family willing to help him flourish in a safe environment. 🏡💞 So, if you feel this connection tug on your heartstrings, don’t wait!
