About Cinco

Cinco is a charming six-year-old shepherd mix with a pale cream coat and a white chest that adds to his striking appearance. His soft ears fold gently at the tips, giving him an endearing look. He rides in the car with his head curiously peeking over to check in with you, his mouth open in a joyful expression. As a house-trained dog, Cinco knows how to behave in a home and walks well on a leash. At this stage in life, Cinco's energy and demeanor are well established. He's a large dog with plenty of charisma, and he gets along well with other dogs, making him a good fit for homes that already have furry companions. However, he may take a little time to warm up to new people, so patience during introductions is important. Currently, Cinco would do best in a home without children. While he hasn't been around cats, we recommend a slow introduction if that situation arises. Potential adopters can schedule a meet and greet to spend some quality time with Cinco. Appointments are available Monday to Friday from 12 PM to 4 PM, and other times may be arranged based on volunteer availability. Reach out via email to set up a visit now!
