Introducing Whitman, a delightful German Shepherd who's got a heart so big, it could practically benchmark against the cosmos! At 7 years old and a healthy 90 pounds, this charming soul embodies the perfect blend of playful puppy spirit and wise sage-like demeanor. 🌟 Can you feel the warmth radiating from him? Whitman is like your favorite old friend who knows just how to lift your spirits. Whether it’s joyfully prancing outdoors or resting his head on your leg for affection, his gentle approach to love will make you smile. He’s a cuddle buddy who prefers cozy companionship over constant closeness, always ready to be right by your side, just as you need him. 🐾 And let’s talk about his quirks! If Whitman gets excited for a stroll or meal, he’ll bounce around as if he’s auditioning for a doggie dance-off. Oh, the sighs he makes while settling into his bed? Trust me, they’re legendary—like the deep resonance of a cow mooing but much cuter! Moo-velous! 😄 He’s got a voice of his own, ensuring you're never caught off guard when he needs water or a quick outdoor run. Whitman is house-trained and crate-trained; plus, he’s a fast learner with basic commands under his furry belt! He can walk decently on a leash but could use a little extra practice. He might have a bit of mischief in him, especially when unsupervised, so a crate helps keep those precious shoes safe! At night, he prefers to keep you company, taking his beauty sleep right next to you. 🛌 Now, about his social skills? He’s got plenty! Whitman has lived happily alongside a cat, showing more curiosity than aggression—though he might be a bit too lively for older felines. With other dogs, he’s selective, so a friendly meet-and-greet would be ideal. His gentle, goofy nature makes him a superb companion, even as a solo dog! 🐕 Whitman has a few minor medical needs, such as arthritis, allergies, and a mild heart rhythm irregularity that are well managed with daily meds. He’s mastered the art of taking his pills, though he’s adorably picky about how to eat them! ❤️ This sweet boy thrives in environments where he can have a fenced yard to frolic around in, followed by delightful naps on a cozy dog bed. He enjoys bananas, peanut butter, and those absolute joys of life—belly rubs! Just like a great good friend should. Whitman truly believes in the beauty of companionship, expressing gratitude for the kindness he receives. 🌈 If you’re seeking a dog to complete your family—a loyal companion with both youthful exuberance and wise charm—then Whitman may just be your match. 🥰 -- As for the details, the adoption donation for Whitman is $250, and remember, all dogs are spayed/neutered and up-to-date on their vaccines.
