Looking for a well mannered, big dog with a soft temperament and a tender and loving personality? Temu is a shy, sweetheart of a dog with a rough past who is looking for kind humans for his future. Temu showed up at a rescuer's home in California in the middle of the night back in November 2025. He was scared and lost and she took him in and began working with him to help him realize that the world is safe and how to live in a home. Temu has also completed a month long board and train to build his skills too! He is a dog with soft temperament hoping to land with an adopter that will help him continue to build his confidence. - Approximately 18 months old and 75 pounds - Likely a Doberman/German Shepherd mix - Good with other dogs including small dogs. He would appreciate a fun, playful dog in his future home. Ideally not a dog that is bossy or dominant. Temu has a nice play style and reads other dogs well. He can be very neutral to other dogs also. No leash reactivity noted. - No information on cat compatibility yet. We are trying to find a cat to test him with. - Kids ages 13+ if there are kids in the home, only because Temu is a nervous guy and younger kids could be too loud and energetic for his comfort. He can be around kids safely, he just prefers a calm home. - Shy guy who warms up with treats, gentle encouragement, soft petting and coaching. Good with both women and men. - Walks really help Temu come out of his shell and explore the world through sniffing. He is not a hard puller on leash and is fairly light on the leash. But he can spook a little at sudden, loud noises. He recovers well though and keeps on with the walk. - Crate trained and doesn't mind being in his crate at all. It is his safe place and he will often go in his crate to nap and relax. Sleeps in his crate at night. - Has had two potty accidents during his first week in foster but does pretty well about going potty outside consistently. - When guests come to the home, Temu is reserved and generally does not approach. He does not growl, bark or jump on guests. He is very meek and just gives them space. As they stay longer in the home, he gets curious and will start to come by to check the new people out. Treats help so much with him making friends. - Loads in a vehicle and does well for car rides. No car sickness observed. - Knows sit, down, place, come and stay from the time during his board and train. - Got into the dog wash station on his own and stood nicely for a bath. Temu has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, heartworm tested negative and is current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. His adoption fee includes a free wellness exam at one of our partner veterinary clinics in Oregon City, Portland, Milwaukie or Tualatin. $300 adoption fee Fostered in Oregon City, Oregon APPLY TO ADOPT TEMU ON OUR WEBSITE: WWW.AGAVEDOGS.ORG
