Pear - Golden Retriever and Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Austin, Texas

Pear:

Pear is a rambunctious, outgoing goofball with a stunning coat. He's likely a husky or shepherd mix, probably will be medium to large at 60 or so pounds. His coat is long and shiny, almost golden retriever-like, and it is gorgeous.

He's super sweet with high energy - would do best with an experienced adopter who's raised a shepherd/husky type before.

Pear was a street dog, so he's still learning that toys and food are things that will always be there. He'll need a patient family to build his confidence and continue his training. He would do best in an active home with walks, ball play, fetch and lots of love.

He sleeps through the night and seems almost potty and crate trained. He just needs the right family to help him settle in.
