Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Kettering, Ohio

Hi, I'm Lake from the Crazy Eights litter! My foster family says I am the most well adjusted and laid back pup in the litter. I am also one of the largest of the group. I can play independently with my toy, play with my siblings or kick back and enjoy some belly rubs. I'm just a pretty chill dude! I do love a good adventure with my siblings and treats.

Please understand that I'm still a baby but am working on potty and crate training, I will have accidents and may whine some as I adjust to my new schedule and family.
