Shepherd and Black Mouth Cur Dogs Available for Adoption in Hays, Kansas

Meet Ed, the laughing hyena!
In all actuality, Ed is a 4 month old Shepherd/Black Mouth Cur mix. He just has such a goofy personality that he reminds me of Ed from the Lion King. To be expected of a puppy this age, he is active and playful, with plenty of excess energy. He will definitely need an owner that can help him work all of that out!
Ed came to us as a stray and was unfortunately never claimed. Due to this, we can't be sure of his history. He doesn't seem to mind the other dogs when they pass by him, but we have yet to introduce him to any. We also have not seen him around kids or cats. While he's never shown us any signs of aggression, we always recommend a meet and greet with the whole family to make sure it's the right fit. Keep in mind that Ed is still learning the ways of the world, and as a puppy still tends to jump or chew on people during playtime. This can be scary to small kids, so supervision will be needed until he can be trained.
Ed is a fun-loving guy who wants a best friend to hang out with! He has been started on his first round of vaccinations and is officially ready to go to his forever home! So if you think Ed could be the dog for you, and you're ready to teach him what true love really is, come out and meet him today!
