About Achilles

Achilles landed at the shelter as a stray and quickly won people over with his spirit. He went through heartworm treatment and had to chill out for a while, but now he’s healthy, heartworm negative, and back to full energy. Achilles is a classic, sweet German Shepherd who just wants a big space to run, play, and let loose. Adventures, tug-of-war, tossing toys around—he’s game for anything that keeps him moving. He isn’t house trained yet, so expect some work there, but what he lacks in manners he makes up for in enthusiasm. If you’re ready for a playful, energetic companion who’s left his rough patch behind, Achilles is ready for his next chapter. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
