About Tolkien
Tolkien is a 2-year-old German Shepherd/Lab mix who was found as a stray in St. Peters. He’s a sensitive soul and still figuring out that the world can be a safe place. Trust takes time with Tolkien, though he is slowly opening up to a staff member he feels comfortable with. Once he forms a bond, he becomes quite attached and may show signs of separation anxiety when that person is away. He is partially potty-trained and is particularly sensitive to loud noises and sudden changes. Tolkien enjoys outdoor time and thrives on calm, predictable routines. High-value treats like cheese and hotdogs are his favorites and can help you earn his trust. In playgroup, he has shown some interest, although he prefers gentle interactions with calm, respectful dogs. A patient home willing to help him build confidence is essential. A secure fenced yard is also a must due to his fears. With guidance and kindness, Tolkien can develop into a loyal and devoted companion. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
