Lion King

ADOPT ME ONLINE: https://ophrescue.org/dogs/8445 Hey there! My name is Lion King AKA Louie. I am 100% an English Shepherd guessed to be about 8 years old and around 61lbs. I am 100% potty-trained. I will whine to let you know I want to go out. I have spectacular house manners. I will wait for your permission before jumping up on the couch and I learn rules quickly. I dont try to steal human food. (But I will stare at you with my sad puppy eyes until you sneak me a piece under the table). Im a gentle-giant. I am SUPER polite with cats and other dogs. I understand social cues well. Im a total velcro dog to my chosen person. I LOVE to be around people so Id like a family where someone is home all-day. Im relatively low-energy. I dont need long walks to thrive - quality time and affection is most important to me. I am the BIGGEST snuggle-bug you will ever meet. I lean my head into your hand when I want more head rubs and lay my head on your lap when Im sleepy. I will need a home with a fenced yard. I get shy going number 2 on walks. Forget the doorbell - I will personally alert you to someone at the door. I love treats so therefore - I love training! I'm very smart. I know basic commands like sit, lie down, stay, come, and move. I want more than anything to be the best dog ever. Big/loud/strange men sometimes scare me. Mom gives me lots of treats so that I feel safe when meeting these types of men. I always have a big smile plastered on my face. Im just a happy, gentle, 61lbs teddy bear with an endless amount of love to give. Think we could be the right match? Apply now! I won't be available forever! To adopt fill out the simple online application at https://ophrescue.org Operation Paws for Homes, Inc. (OPH) rescues dogs and cats of all breeds and ages from high-kill shelters in NC, VA, MD, and SC, reducing the numbers being euthanized. With limited resources, the shelters are forced to put down 50-90% of the animals that come in the front door. OPH provides pet adoption services to families located in VA, DC, MD, PA and neighboring states. OPH is a 501(c)(3) organization and is 100% donor funded. OPH does not operate a shelter or have a physical location. We rely on foster families who open their homes to give love and attention to each pet before finding a forever home.All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
