Slate

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Slate is available for adoption!  This gorgeous pup is a German Shepherd, almost 4 months old and over 40 pounds!  Slate and his sister Ali came to us from Texas, where they were born into rescue.   The puppies are absolutely beautiful! They are smart and typical German Shepherds—loyal, curious, and affectionate. Like all puppies, they are playful, energetic, and full of mischief! It's essential that they receive training from the start to ensure they grow into well-behaved adult dogs. German Shepherds are working dogs that need mental and physical stimulation. Both pups are crate trained, and we have begun introducing them to the leash, although they are not yet trained to walk on it yet. They are doing remarkably well with house training, having very few accidents. In their foster home, they have access to a fully fenced yard, which really helps with training and allows them to exercise properly. They love to be outside and would stay out all day if they could! These puppies are food motivated, which helps in starting their basic training skills. Please remember that, although they are large, they are still just puppies, and training will be your responsibility. It requires time, love, and a lot of patience!   Meet Slate, a big, lovable guy who will likely grow to over 70 pounds! If you’re ready for a big buddy, he’s the one! Slate is already on guard duty, barking when he hears the neighbors, which shows he will make a fantastic watchdog. He’s super easy to correct and is very submissive with the smaller dogs in his foster home. Slate just wants to make his foster mom happy and absolutely loves being showered with affection! He’s discovering the joy of toys and has even started splashing around in the kiddie pool. After all that fun, he’s quick to settle down for a snooze. Slate adores spending time outside and is making great strides in learning what it means to be a house dog. He’s a lot of fun to have around! We require that a martingale collar be used at the time of adoption. If you do not have a martingale collar, you can purchase one from Pixie Mamas for an additional $10. This requirement is in place to ensure the dog's safety and security. Slate is up to date with vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated.  He is scheduled to be neutered on 7/15 and will be able to go to a new home after!  His adoption fee is $600 01 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 9, 2025, 6:52 am
