Waldo

Waldo is a 2-year-old giant black and tan affectionate German Shepherd, who weighs 87 pounds. He came to us from a local area shelter, so little is known of his background.

He is quite skinny now but enjoying the extra food to put on muscle. He likes to play with balls, stuffed animals and other dogs. Waldo is very personable and silly.

He knows some basic commands, is learning the go potty command and is house trained. He easily lets you trim his nails, especially when you make it a whole massage experience. He has a good appetite, with medium energy. He waits well in the car while you are in the store for 10 to 15 minutes. He is lovey-dovey but doesn't lick your face, which is nice.

Waldo's first foster discovered he had a bone wedged in the top of his mouth. He has had one surgery to fix this and we are waiting to see if he needs one more.

Waldo is learning not to pull while you are walking him but when a squirrel or another dog is near he does get excited and needs a correction to get him back to walking form. He is a big, strong boy so he will need a strong handler since he will probably get stronger as he puts on weight.

Obedience training is recommended to help this goofball with his exuberance.

Cats and small critters unknown.

This is a Level 2 Dog
