About Savior

Meet Savior! This stunning shepherd mix is a 2-year-old who came to us from another rescue. Savior is a sweet, fun-loving boy who’s truly blossomed in our care. He walks well on a leash, gets along with other dogs, and is eager to please. This smart dog thrives in structured and calm environments, making him a big-time snuggle buddy. Savior does have some shepherd guarding instincts, so he will need continued training to work through his protective tendencies. Here's what his foster has to say: "Savior is such a good boy. He's fully house trained, crate trained, and well mannered. He loves squeaky toys and balls, and enjoys chasing birds and squirrels, both in the yard and on leash. He walks well on a leash, though he'll benefit from some training. With the right dedication, he’ll truly thrive. He’s such a great boy who deserves the best home." We've promised Savior that the rest of his life will be the best of his life. Could that be with you?
