Noah Wrangler is a large, adult male shepherd mix who’s not fond of cats and needs a cat-free home. He’s currently in Joplin, MO. If you already own a dog, it’s important to schedule a meet-and-greet, as shelter tests are done only with dogs of similar size. While a cat test can be arranged, it’s limited; introducing dogs and cats at home always needs care. Shelter behavior is only a brief glimpse—dogs, especially those from varied backgrounds, need patience and basic training in a new environment. For families with small children, remember that even friendly dogs need supervision and adjustment time. Use caution around feeding, as food-guarding can occur. Learning more about shepherd mixes will help you understand their needs and personality. After adoption, expect an adjustment period as Noah Wrangler settles into his routine and gets comfortable.
