Chavez is a three-year-old German Shepherd with classic black and brown coloring. He's the sort of dog who lights up when he sees people, always eager for play and new experiences. Chavez gets along with other dogs, but needs active guidance—basic training and socialization will make a big difference in helping him settle into family life. He shows beginnings of housebreaking, so he's already on the right path. Weighing in at 74 pounds and recently neutered, Chavez is up to date on his vaccinations and already microchipped, ready to transition to a new home. He'd do best with an active family who will take him on daily adventures and help him learn the ropes. Chavez’s journey started after an owner surrender, so he’ll need patience and consistency as he adjusts to new routines and expectations. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
