ADOPTED ON 01-02-15 – Claw is a male German Shepard mix, who weighs approximately 45lbs and is 1.5 years old.  He is neutered and up to date on vaccinations.  Claw previously lived his life tied outside in the hot Louisiana sun, along with 3 or 4 other dogs. After 9 months of a volunteer from Patrick’s Pals stopping by with food and vaccinations and speaking with the family and educating them about the  proper environment a dog should live in,  they agreed to surrender Claw and his sister, so they could be part of our program.

Claw is friendly, affectionate and listens very well. He tends to be a little cautious children, because they are closer to his level and he just wants to say hello! He does well with other dogs. His foster mother says when a new dog enters her pack he likes to be the one in charge, but after a brief warm up period he is more interested in playing. He does excellent in a crate and is house trained. His behavior with cats is unknown and he still needs a little work with his leash skills, as he tends to pull. Claw enjoys going for rides in the car and loves to be outside. He is scared of loud noises.

The ideal home for Claw would be one where he gets lots of exercise.  His new family may include children, as long as the parents would work with him on keeping “four on the floor” as he tends to be a bit exuberant when greeting children. He is just so excited to meet these new friends he just needs a little help containing himself! Claw’s new home may include other dogs, but he would do fine as an only dog as well. If his new home were to include another dog, he may do better with a submissive dog as he often likes to be the one in charge.  After being subjected to the hot Louisiana sun and the changing conditions during the storms in the south, Claw deserves a home where he can go inside anytime he wants. Claw would love to be the one that lies next to you on the couch or curls up in his bed while you watch the evening news. All he asks for in return is a scratch behind the ears,  a ” good boy” , and your unconditional love.

PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE TO CHECK OUT THE SECTION BELOW

RDVG wants to provide you with as much information as we can because some of our mix breeds you might not be familiar with. The below section on “About the Breed” offers information on some of the Breed Characteristics, Children & Pets, Behavior and Personality, Temperament and more.

It is important to point out that in addition to the breed, there is an enormous variety in the way a dog acts and reacts to the world around him. In the end, your dog’s preferences and personality are as individual as you are–and if you can accept that– then you’re bound to enjoy each other.

Children & Pets

Animal Behavior Guidelines

Many children, especially very young ones, do not realize that pets are living animals and not toys. Failing to teach a child how to handle pets properly can result in suffering on the part of the pet and, in some cases, injury to the child. Taking introductions slowly will allow you to introduce family dogs and your children safely

Puppy Behavior, Growth & Development

Each stage of Puppy Growth and development is fascinating; by the time it reaches its first birthday a puppy is considered a mature, adult dog. Puppy Growth rate is fast compared to humans, just compare a puppy of 8 weeks to a baby of the same age.

One of the most common questions asked about a puppy’s growth and development rate refers to the eventual size of the puppy. How big will the puppy grow? How can you determine the adult size of a puppy? A young puppy is tiny and cute – everyone loves puppies! But will the puppy be suited to your environment? How much exercise will be required for a full grown dog? Will the puppy be a suitable pet for children? The breed of the puppy will determine the answers to these questions. A general response to the size and growth rate of a puppy and the adult size of a puppy is therefore not possible – it needs to be specific to the puppy’s breed.
