Denver

Meet Denver, a remarkable German Shepherd and American Bully mix with a sleek black coat. This intelligent and energetic dog has the best traits of both breeds. Denver is a quick and eager learner, he knows basic commands such as: sit, lay, stay, crate, down, and heel. Denver is highly food-motivated, and eager to learn more commands.

Denver loves to cuddle and be around family. He is potty trained and will alert you by sitting by the door when he needs to go out.

Denver has done well unsupervised, free-roaming the house for up to six hours without incident. He thrives on routine and needs an owner who can provide consistent training and physical activity. Denver is eager to be socialized with other dogs and has a friendly demeanor around them. While he has done well around young children, he tends to steal their food and toys, so he would do best in a home with older teens or no children.

Due to a change in my health and job schedule, I am seeking a new home for Denver where he can get the attention and care he deserves. Denver will flourish in a clean environment, as he tends to eat anything he finds. If you are active, dedicated, and ready to provide a loving home for this exceptional dog, Denver would happily fill the role of a loving companion for you.
