My story

🎯 Meet Target – Smart, Handsome, and Ready to Impress! 🐾 Say hello to Target, a 2½-year-old superstar who came into the shelter as a stray on August 28, 2025. Sadly, he wasn’t reclaimed—but that just means he’s now waiting for the right person to give him the FOREVER home he truly deserves. Could that be you? ✨ Why You'll Love Target: ✔️ Current on all vaccinations ✔️ Extremely intelligent and eager to please ✔️ LOVES to play fetch—ball, toy, or Frisbee ✔️ Knows how to sit and drop on command ✔️ Shows strong herding instincts and thrives with purpose Target is the type of dog who will thrive in an active, structured environment—ideally with someone who understands his breed and can provide both physical and mental stimulation. He’s not just a pretty face (though he is seriously handsome)—he’s also a smart, capable dog who’s just waiting for the right person to bring out his full potential. 🏃‍♂️ If you’re looking for a loyal, active companion who’s ready to learn, play, and love—you’ve just found your match. Come visit Target today and see if he’s the one you’ve been waiting for. 💙 🩺 Pet Owner Reminder: Our pets depend on us for their health and happiness. Be sure to schedule yearly vet visits and provide monthly heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. Just one mosquito bite can transmit heartworms, but one monthly chew can keep your pup protected for life. Let’s give them the care they deserve. 🐶🛡️

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Target, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
