Serious - Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Some dogs leave such an impression that you can't understand how they're still sitting in a shelter. Serious is one of those dogs.

The volunteer who spent time with him said he checks every box of what you'd want in a dog. The moment his kennel door opened, he greeted her with nonstop tail wags. He walked beautifully on leash, posed like a perfect gentleman for photos, and was happiest just sitting beside his person, politely asking for pets and sneaking in a few kisses.

Serious absolutely loves people and seems to think everyone he meets is already his friend. He was introduced to two other dogs and did wonderfully with both of them, showing just how social and easygoing he is.
