Meet Enzo, a handsome German Shepherd with a loyal heart and so much love to give. Enzo was surrendered when his previous owner had to move and unfortunately could not take him along. Before coming to the shelter, Enzo was used to being by his person’s side everywhere they went, so adjusting to shelter life has been difficult for him. Enzo would thrive in a home where he can spend lots of time with his people and be included as part of the family. Like many German Shepherds, he can be a little anxious with new or unfamiliar situations, but once he feels comfortable, his sweet and affectionate personality shines through. He is food motivated, eager to please, and enjoys learning from people he trusts.

Enzo is looking for a home that understands the needs and responsibilities of owning a large breed dog. His ideal family will be prepared to provide proper veterinary care, regular grooming, quality nutrition, mental enrichment, physical exercise, and most importantly, patience and love. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility. We recommend calling into the shelter after your application has been submitted so our front desk can give you next steps on our adoption process.
