I am fostering a male puppy for a lady who can no longer care for him and is in over her head.  He is 6 months old and a black shepherd mix.  He is very healthy, but very undersocialized.  He has a very nice temperament, no vices (not aggressive at all, very sweet!), loves other dogs, and just needs lots of patience and some extra socialization and house training to bring him along.  I believe will make a phenomenal companion to the right folks.  He has received first round of vaccines, been dewormed several times, but not been neutered yet.  There is a very small adoption fee of $100 - I just want him to go to a good home who can meet his needs.  That being said, SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY.  You need to have experience with dogs, and fully understand that this is a very shy pup that will need time, training and patience to bring along. You are committing to this if you take him!  If you are a common sense no fuss person who wants a gorgeous, healthy, very nice, highly intelligent pup, please get in touch with me.  I cannot accommodate casual “shoppers” i.e. people looking for an immediate “cosmic connection/bond” who aren’t committed, etc.  This puppy is being placed “as is” and will need patience and training, so NO TIME WASTERS who are looking for a unicorn for no money.  Don’t ask to meet him to see if he will “bond” with you.  Bonding comes from engagement and training over time.  Don’t ask me if you can have him for free, if you can’t afford $100 you can’t afford the care of the dog.  I’m not negotiating ANYTHING.  I have had several people say they own their own home etc. but for some reason can’t afford the adoption fee or feel like they shouldn’t have to pay one.    This is a completely untrained dog, but if you like shepherds, this boy is a real diamond in the rough!
