Argo

AKC Registered German Shepherd

Argo boy is so sweet & attentive. He loves cuddles and is great with children and other dogs. He can be a bit afraid of his own shadow so he would need someone who is patient with him. He is easy to take out on long walks, loves snuggling, and would be the perfect companion for you and your family. Only looking to rehome because I work in EMS and my shifts have changed and I feel it’s unfair to leave him without the appropriate attention for that long.

What criteria are important to you when considering an adoptive family or home for your pet?: Large yard, someone who is patient, someone who has the space big enough to offer him a good quality of life.
Is there anything else you'd like your pet's new family to know?: He is timid of fireworks and loud noises, so he needs patience. Often the bathroom is his favorite place to hide if he is afraid and if he can’t he will find a way to get in between your legs to use you as a safety net. He is incredible with small children, he would get on his belly and crawl around like that when my 1.5 year old nephew would be playing.!
Why are you rehoming your pet (primary reason)?: Schedule, No Time
Rehoming reason details (if necessary): I work EMS and my schedule often fluctuates between a 12 hour to a 24 hour shift and I feel guilty for not providing more time for him. I would like him to go somewhere where his owner isn’t gone for many lengthy amount of times. He isn’t destructive while I’m gone this is only my guilty conscience making me feel it’s time to rehome him.
