26-086 Briareos - German Shepherd Dog Dog for Adoption in Richardson, Texas

Meet Briareos! This handsome boy is just over a year old and under 65 lbs.

Briareos was seemingly left to fend for himself around a very rural property in East Texas for well over a month. Sadly, it appeared he had likely been dumped. However, through his brave and friendly personality, along with his dashing good looks, he captured the hearts of some visiting humans who helped steer him to a better future. He has settled into the household very well. He is a gentleman in regards to his housetraining, and knows to go outside to potty.

This boy LOVES to exercise! Whether it's chasing squirrels in the backyard, playing with foster sibling or going on a run with foster dad, he's up and ready to go! And afterwards, he's content with chilling out in the house. He will thrive in a home that can keep up with his moderately-high energy needs.

He is dog friendly and does well in the crate.

This sweet boy is looking for his new family to go on lots of fun adventures!
