Peter - Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Kettering, Ohio

Meet Peter, the ultimate low-maintenance companion, professional couch snuggler, and absolute master of the upside-down belly rub grumble! If you are looking for a loyal, quiet sidekick who wants nothing more than to be by your side, Peter is your guy. He is more than ready for cozy couch season and doesn't require hours of high-energy enrichment to stay happy--he is completely content settling into his own space or curling up next to you for cuddles whenever invited. On top of his sweet personality, Peter comes pre-programmed with great manners: he knows come, sit, lay down, paw, and kennel up. He is quiet, housebroken, crate-trained, rides like a dream in the car, and walks like a gentleman on a leash without pulling. Plus, he is fantastic with kids and gets along great with other dogs, always proving to be extremely respectful of their communication and boundaries.
Because Peter is a sensitive soul, he is looking for a patient adopter who will give him a little time to learn that new people are safe and good. He can be timid when meeting someone new--tending to be a bit more cautious around men than women--and can occasionally nervous-pee when feeling overwhelmed. Peter is also a bit of a clever adventurer, meaning he can clear a 4-foot fence if left alone outside too long and will slip through an open exterior door if given the chance. Supervised yard time and a little door-awareness are all it takes to keep this sweet explorer safe. Once he warms up and knows he is secure, Peter turns into the easiest, most devoted, and unobtrusive dog you could ever ask for in a home. Peter is microchipped, neutered, and vaccinated. His adoption fee is $285 and you can apply to adopt at www.pawpatroldayton.com/adopt! All of our animals are vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered before being adopted.
