About Escudo

Adoption Fee: $275
German Shepherd / Alaskan Malamute
Age: Senior
Sex: Male

Pal's Place would like to introduce our newest rescue, Escudo! Escudo is an absolutely stunning hunk of a dog! He is a 98 pound, 8-year-old male German Shepherd mix possibly with Collie or Malamute. This incredibly sweet fellow was with his previous family from the time he was a very young pup. He has been extremely well-loved and cared for his entire life. Unfortunately, his primary caretaker has fallen ill and with two young children also in the home, it became impossible for the family to provide Escudo with the care he deserves, so Escudo was tearfully surrendered to Pal's Place to find a new forever home. Escudo is very friendly, gentle and affectionate and will fit in easily with most families. Like many Shepherds, he can be a little anxious in new places and with new people (paces, whines) but settles in quickly. He has lived with children in his previous home and did well with them but because of his size, we'd prefer to place him with children aged 10+. Escudo is sharing his foster home with other dogs and gets along with them but he does like to 'herd' the smaller dogs so he'd do best in a home with a dog closer to his size. He is well behaved in the home and is house trained and crate trained but can also be trusted with free run of the home when alone. Escudo also knows several commands in English and in Spanish. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, up-to-date with vaccines and monthly flea and heartworm prevention. Unfortunately, he did test positive for Lyme disease at his recent check-up. He is asymptomatic however and has already started his treatment. We are not anticipating any other complications from the infection and he is an otherwise healthy 8-year-old pooch! This guy is truly a gem of a dog and will make any Shepherd lover very happy. Come meet this sweet boy today, he's anxious to meet you! Escudo is in a foster home in Chicago and can be seen by appointment once an application has been received and approved.
