To ensure each pet finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application in the order submitted and will contact you within 72 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails). Keanu | 3 years old Shepherd Mix | Big Heart, Bigger Energy Keanu is a handsome sandy-brown shepherd mix with a playful spirit and a whole lot of love to give. At 2 years old and around 60 pounds, he’s still very much a young dog learning the ropes of home life. Keanu is sweet, affectionate, and loves to snuggle just as much as he enjoys chasing a ball or heading out for an adventure. He’s highly motivated by both food and praise, and you can tell he genuinely wants to connect with his people and make them happy. Keanu has a high to very high energy level and will thrive in a home that can provide plenty of daily exercise and mental stimulation—think long walks, hikes, and lots of playtime. He especially loves toys (anything he can chew!) and playing fetch. He’s also a fan of car rides and will happily join you on outings. After he’s had a chance to burn off some energy, he’s more than ready to settle in for belly rubs and couch time. As a young rescue dog still learning, Keanu will need continued training and structure. He currently knows “sit,” with other commands like “down,” “stay,” and “drop” in progress. He is about 75% house-trained and gives subtle cues when he needs to go outside, so his adopter will need to stay attentive as he continues to improve. He is not yet crate-trained and may bark or whine when confined, and he can be vocal when left alone. On leash, Keanu is strong and can be quite pully—especially when he spots rabbits or squirrels—so he will benefit from consistent leash training and guidance.
