Pupperoni (AVAILABLE 8/31) - Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Leverett, Massachusetts

Meet Pupperoni, a 2-year-old guy with a whole lot of love to give and a very strong opinion about cats.

Pupperoni is a playful, affectionate boy who enjoys hanging out with his canine friends and absolutely loves being pet. He can be a little jumpy when he first meets you, but give him just a little time and he settles in quickly and shows you what a sweet guy he really is.

He's also a pretty good walking buddy! Pupperoni walks nicely on leash and enjoys getting out and exploring with his people.

One thing Pupperoni would like his future family to know: he is NOT a fan of being confined. Crates and enclosed spaces are definitely not his thing—he wouldn't even go inside the big outdoor dog house unless the door was wide open. Because of this, he'll do best with a family willing to work with his comfort level and give him appropriate freedom rather than expecting him to be comfortable with confinement.

Pupperoni is looking for a home where he can be part of the action, get plenty of affection, enjoy some playtime with a doggy friend, and never, ever be asked to pretend he likes cats. If you're looking for a loving, playful companion with a little personality (and some very firm opinions), Pupperoni might be your guy!
