About Lennon

Meet Lennon, a 4-year-old German Shepherd mix weighing around 70 pounds. He’s currently looking for his forever home and is eager to bond with someone special. Lennon hasn’t been neutered yet, but he will be as part of the adoption process, ensuring he’s ready for his new life. He’s eligible for Greenhill's Foster-to-Adopt Program, allowing you to foster him and see if he’s the right fit for your family before fully committing to adoption. When it comes to other pets, Lennon can be selective, especially with dogs. A meeting with any resident dogs is a good idea to gauge compatibility. His behavior around cats is unknown, so slow introductions would be essential. As for children, Lennon would prefer older kids (10+) who can approach him gently. He has displayed some anxiety since arriving at the shelter and would thrive in a calm environment that allows him to adjust at his own pace. Shared wall living might be challenging for him due to his need for personal space. Lennon is incredibly affectionate and forms strong bonds with his people. He came to the shelter as a stray, so while we can share observations from his time here, his background remains a mystery. Expect to discover more about him as you both settle in together. His adoption includes spay/neuter, current vaccinations, microchip, a certificate for a free vet exam, and post-adoption support. If you're interested in giving Lennon a loving home, come meet him today! Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
