About Shea (west)

German Shepherd mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Hi, my name is SHEA - ID#A4424670. I am a neutered male, tan and white German Shepherd Dog mix. The shelter staff think I am about 4 years old, and I have been at the shelter since Jun 01, 2020. Shea is headed for euthanasia unless we find a home for him immediately. He is a very fearful dog. He is very gradually progressing, but will take a lot of time. If someone sits with him, he will take treats, and eventually lay down beside you, but the environment at the shelter scares him a lot. Here are the latest notes by staff who recently spent time with Shea; 6/20/2020 ENRICHMENT Canine came out of kennel readily, in play yard canine walked the perimeter, went the bathroom, and then approached handler. Stayed within a couple feet but was soliciting treats. Handler offered them and canine took them from hand. Canine was jumpy and quick to back up if handler moved. Easy to return to kennel. 6/20/2020 OBSERVATION In back of kennel, dog came forward to exit, but retreated from leash, ducked; once leashed, exited kennel, slightly erratic on leash, some pulling; in yard, appeared slightly nervous, anxious, explored; retreated from handler; handler attempted to place collar, but appeared stressed/nervous and would move away, flinched when collar touched neck; dog pawed at leash several times; returned dog to kennel, removed leash. 6/21/2020 OBSERVATION exited kennel and entered I-yard without issue; explored, wary; did not approach handler for treats today, did not eat tossed treats; no interest in treat/retreat exercise; returned to kennel after some time out. 6/21/2020 ENRICHMENT Handler opened kennel directly into I yard. Once in yard canine explored, mostly stuck to the perimeter. Did come up to handler within 2 feet but did not take treats, sniffed them but seem disinterested. Canine went back into kennel without issue. 'URGENT' If you have no breed restrictions, please call ASAP = 520-800-4633 PLEASE NOTE: You must have an appointment to go to shelter to meet this dog.
