About this Dog
This big, beautiful, young boy would love to live somewhere where he can stretch his long legs and show off his outstanding temperament. Exceptionally friendly and so smart, he also will sit for a treat and take it gently from your hand. Very strong and sturdy, he is a good representative of his breed. He would do best in an area with some land where he can play and exercise his muscles, but most of all he needs to be loved. People are his everything. Still very much a puppy, even though he is already a big, fluffy dog, he likes playing with toys (big toys!) and when you appear, he will dance around you with complete joy. It must have been so hard for him to be abandoned by his family and left on his own in the woods. It would be the love that he missed even more than the lack of food. He is now with a foster, who calls him the "best boy ever" and is the recipient of many kisses. Soulful eyes and the endearing habit of wrapping his front legs around you in a very human embrace, he easily earns that best boy title. He has been completely vetted, had all his shots, and is even neutered for you. If you like the big breeds, Shep is one of the very best. Special NOTE TO YOU FROM HIS FOSTER: He LOVES playing with ice cubes and seems to be totally house trained! After only 2 weeks here in his foster home he has become an excellent guard dog, always letting me know if someone is approaching the house. His size and deep bark are usually enough to send someone who doesn't know him leaving more quickly than they arrived. What they don't know is that he loves people and would probably bring them one of his toys. But he does have good protection instincts. I think he reads intentions and I wouldn't want to be someone who was a threat to us or our home.

Contribute to Shep's Stash!

100% of Shep's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Shep.
Adopt Shep and Receive Shep's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Shep's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Shep's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Shep, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Shep's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Shep was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Shep’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Shep’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Shep’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
