I've worked hard to get to this point. I am a shepherd cross. When I first arrived at SCARS I was so scared. I just hid in a corner and was scared of everyone.Today I am eager to go on my walks on or off leash and greet my people with excitement. I'm still shy with strangers but not too bad. I walked into the vet clinic and let the staff handle me like a trooper. I have been good with other dogs but I need a home with another social female to continue to teach me to be brave. I'm not used to city life so looking for a fenced acreage.
Keaton is 7 years 6 months — a senior. Senior dogs are calmer, house-trained, and often have reduced adoption fees ($100-$250). Read our complete senior dog adoption guide for what to expect, the best senior breeds for Calgary, and how to budget for senior care.
