Mason - Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in San Francisco, California

Mason is an intelligent, social and affectionate boy. At about 70 pounds, he has an outgoing and curious nature, making him a fun companion to have around.

When meeting new people, Mason is friendly, good with children, and is always ready to greet everyone with warmth and enthusiasm. He is fully house- and crate-trained.

Mason has a high energy level and loves to get it out on brisk walks or dog parks where he makes lots of dog friends and playfully chases them. He is currently working on leash training and needs a patient home that can continue the training and support that he needs. He also likes engaging scent games to work his clever mind, but also enjoys lounging in the sun.

He would do well in a house with another dog friend who would love to get their energy out alongside him. He also needs a cat-free home, as he gets too interested and tends to chase.

If you're looking for an active and social companion, Mason is ready for you! (RR)

While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
