​Meet Rooster!  He is a 1-year old goofy boy looking for his forever home. 

He is a typical GSP which means he is high energy, smart, sassy, and a cuddle bug all wrapped into one pup. When his people get home from work, he immediately greets them by grabbing their sleeves and leading them outside to play with him. After playtime, he loves to be under the blankets and lay as close as physically possible to the other pups and people.

Rooster’s perfect home is one able to make sure he gets plenty of exercise. He shows great potential as a hiking/running buddy and has a strong prey drive and a desire to please, so he may be great at other sports or activities, too. While he may do okay in a house with no other dogs, he does love to play, so a buddy or two might be a great option for him.  He gets along well with other dogs.  On that note, he has met children and was so excited to have little ones willing to match his energy (6+ years only), but he is a big boy who does jump when excited (it’s a work in progress). Since he is so smart and high energy, Rooster definitely needs a home that is committed to working on reinforcing his current skills and willing to expand his training. His current skills include sit, stay/wait, lay down, high-five, leash manners, and fabulous recall! He also sits and waits for his meal and only goes when released. He can’t be held accountable for the puddle of drool he creates while he waits though!

While Rooster is an amazing dog and would be a great addition to most homes, there are a few important quirks to know about him. If he is left alone and bored, he will get into things. The trash bin and dirty clothes hamper now both have lids that firmly close due to his adventures. When on walks, he has great manners, but will bark at other dogs and people if he thinks they get too close. However, he loves little baby food squeeze packs and is way more interested in that than barking at others anyways. Lastly, Rooster has made many pup friends but doesn’t love it when other dogs come into his home turf. If he meets them on neutral ground or even their homes, he is great and has no issues, but when friends he hasn’t met before come over, he gets protective of his home, and introductions will need to be slow.

His adoption fee is $375.
