Is your motto go big or go home?! If so, Pickles is the dog for you! Weighing in at 130lbs this dog isn't going to fit in any purse! :) Pickles came to ACL as a stray. He was found laying in the street, and upon arrival to ACL was completely shut down, weighed 165 lbs and could barely stand up. He was petrified and we knew we had to help him. Since Pickles was having such a hard time, our Director decided to bring him into her office to get some extra TLC. Fast forward several months and thanks to our vet staff and lots of hikes in the woods, Pickles is down to a more reasonable weight for his breed/size and his personality has really come forward. This dog is loyal and sweet and goofy and motivated. He absolutely LOVES car rides-we would say lives for them-and absolutely loves exploring in the woods (as long as you are willing to stop to eat some grass). We can assume that he didn't get out of the house much in his previous home so is frightened of new situations, loud noises and big giant trucks however if you protect him from those scary things, in return he will protect you when he feels it's necessary. Pickles has come a long way in his time here at ACL, but he is ready (and deserves) to live his days outside of the shelter. If you are interested in learning more about him please e-mail [email protected]. The likely best home fit for Pickles would be someone who is patient, fairly active (enjoys nice long walks and walks in the woods), and appreciates and/or has some experience with German Shepherd Dogs. A pet parent with a car that was lower to the ground would be a HUGE bonus! Pickles might do OK with another dog, and we are not 100% sure about cats. Pickles will have to go to an adult household/kids in home 18+ home.
