Bates is a young Shepherd with a classic tricolor coat who’s ready for a fresh start in Troy, AL. He’s neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and regularly receives flea, tick, and worm preventatives, so he comes home healthy and microchipped for good measure. Bates is house trained and gets along well with other dogs, making him a solid fit for social or multi-pet homes. Born April 25, Bates is a Taurus—expect both loyalty and a little bit of stubbornness. At about three years old, he’s still young enough for adventure but grown enough to know home routines. If you’re looking for a reliable, well-vetted Shepherd who already has the basics handled, Bates is worth a meet. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
