Twister 6566 - German Shepherd Dog Dog for Adoption in Centreville, Virginia

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

The less than happy details:

Twister was shot at some point with a small caliber and displays limited hearing and a head tilt on his left side. It is unknown how long he was a stray for and he displayed some initial resource guarding with his foster sibling - he has been undergoing training for this behavior and is making great strides. He has not been tested around cats. He has been around children under 5 and mostly ignores them. Right now, Twister would do best as the only dog in the home, or at the least have his own separate space to decompress. He would likely be fine with fur another sibling, but introductions should be done prior to adoption and then slowly once in a new home to allow him time to acclimate.

The very best details:

Twister would love nothing more than to be a kept lap dog. Early mornings are met with wiggles of appreciation to be let out of his crate - to which he then backs his fluffy bum up for some dedicated butt scratching - don't you dare stop before he is ready though! Twister is also food motivated - so much so that it can be hard to tell him and the resident lab apart. He is a perfect gentlemen on leash, content to walk alongside you while taking occasional sniff breaks. The only toy he has shown an interest in is the kickball in his video - which he deftly popped into submission. His perfect night is spent by your side snuggling on the couch, please don't forget the blanket and maybe some popcorn.
