Fred - German Shepherd Dog and Anatolian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Fort Lupton, Colorado

Hi I'm Fred, Freddie, and sometimes even Frederick! My siblings George, Ginny, and I arrived in Colorado at 8 weeks old after being born in the shelter in New Mexico. Even with this rough start to life, we immediately loved people and other dogs! We are almost 12 weeks old and soon to visit the vet for something called a neuter- whatever that means! I am the most confident and active of the three of us! I love to stay busy with toys, other dogs, and being outside. I'm starting some training with treats and learning new words like sit, outside, inside and food/hungry! Food is my favorite time of day and right now I am eating 3 times a day to keep my weight up with my energy as I grow. I'd love to give you kisses and I'm learning to not turn them into nibbles. They say I'll be best suited in a house with a fence, probably with someone who has shepherd breed experience, and older or no kids. I plan on being very smart and need to be entertained with training and enrichment.

His adoption fee is $400 and he will be available as soon as he is neutered, microchipped, and is up to date on vaccinations.
