MY STORY: Meet Dover!

Be still my heart! Say hello to handsome and sweet Dover. He is a 9-month-old male Shepherd mix with a sleek and shiny haircoat of golden apricot, chocolate brown and brilliant white. Dover's story started with a rough patch. At a very young age, he broke his leg and he faced months of limited activity. Through it all, he kept wagging his tail and trusting his caretakers. Today he is fully healed, cleared to run, play, and make up for lost time. Dover has a happy tail, and beautiful deep brown eyes that will look at you with pure love. He is happiest when he's with his people and he loves cuddling and following you from room to room. Dover is the perfect age to learn commands, good manners, and the routine of a loving home. He loves everyone he meets especially older kids that like to play. He enjoys romping with other friendly dogs and going for walks with his special person. This handsome young boy is hoping for a forever home of his very own and a family that will help him grow into a great companion.
