Cuddi - German Shepherd Dog Dog for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

"He is easy to care for! Cuddi has been a joy to have at our house. He is so sweet, playful, funny, smart, a constant companion and listens well. Despite his anxiety, he is quite good on his leash and can calmly pass dogs from a distance, only barking if startled by another dog barking first. He does amazing free roaming and sleeping on his own. He met 4 family members within the first 7 days and after his barking welcome, he loves and plays with them all. Cuddi is an incredible companion and if we could, we would have adopted him immediately." - Just a few of many praises sung by Cuddi's foster.

Cuddi is a lovable senior shepherd that's been looking for a family since February. He is a Special Care pet due to arthritis and anxiety, which are both well managed with medication. Cuddi should be the solo dog in the home because of his fear towards other dogs. He doesn't let that stop him from enjoying his walks, though, easily practicing skills such "Look at That" to pass right by. Cuddi is smart; he knows sit, eye contact, and down, too, and is potty trained. He still has plenty of heart and play left in him, too, a big fan of fetch and toys. Cheese, naps, and snuggles are a few more of his favorites. Please take our senior sweetie home!
