About Rover

Rover is a 5-year-old neutered male German Shepherd Dog and Husky mix, ready for a fresh start after enduring a tough past. He’s friendly, energetic, and playful, full of life and enthusiasm. Rover gets along well with other dogs, so having a furry friend would be a bonus for him. His affectionate nature extends to humans too; however, he could use a little obedience training to refine his overly excited greetings. Being high energy, Rover thrives in an active home. He would excel in outdoor activities like hiking, running, or any adventure where he can expend some of that energy. Though he tends to experience anxiety when crated, a gradual approach to alone time can help him adjust. He loves car rides and is already house trained.
