About Azuma

Adoption Fee: $300
German Shepherd mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Azuma is such a sweet boy. His capacity for love, tolerance, and forgiveness is amazing. In spite of his size he enjoys being in your arms or lap and give kisses; he also enjoys belly rubs. He wants to be your best friend and you his. He is a marshmallow inside and prefers for everyone to get along. *** Azuma loves to explore and see knew things. He is playful and funny when he feels safe. He enjoys physical activity but at the same time he is a pretty laid back fella. In the summer he has a great time playing in the spray from the water hose; in the winter he will probably have a blast catching soft snowballs out of the air. Altogether he is just a great dog to hang out with whether on the couch or on the trail or anywhere in between.*** We have found that Azuma loves children and seeks their love along with anyone else who will give him kisses. He is a big hit with other people when he is out and about in the community.*** Azuma does well on car rides and on walks. Sometimes he forgets how big and strong he is and need to be reminded of good leash manners. He is a natural at off leash hiking and stays close without having to be told. He loves the chance to stretch his legs that way and enjoys sprinting back and forth with his buddies. He even figured out to step to the side of the trail to let bikes by without having to be taught.*** Azuma is good with other dogs but prefers friends who are not vibrating with high energy and in his face. He has been in play groups at the doggie daycare. He does have a tendency to play a little rough in the herding breed style so he does best if introductions and first play is slowed down. Once he has settled down a bit he shows good social skills and you can see that he wants to be friends.*** Azuma is fearful of cats but we think with the right ones will learn to relax. Thus it's best he isn't in a home with high anxiety cats.*** Azuma had a rough start in life. He was tied up outside without shelter and only occasional food and water. When he was first brought into our rescued he weighed 72 lbs. compared to his current and very healthy 111 lbs. No wonder he was very defensive of his food when he finally got some. But as he no longer felt starved and he got people in his life he could trust to care for him he let that fear go. We deliberately keep proving to him that we will never willingly make him worry about his food. and expect his new owners to do the same.*** If you are ready for Azuma kisses, cuddle buddy and pretty much couch potato and can assure him that he will have a full belly every day for the rest of his life without fear of it being taken away, then contact us. *** Azuma is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations.
