Weston is a shy guy who would love a life where he can be independent and maybe hang out with some other pups! He enjoys sitting in the kiddie pool to cool off. Weston would be more than happy to spend his time chillin in the backyard, and perhaps coming inside for a cozy place to sleep! He isn`t one who loves pets or big hugs, and will likely need assistance learning better coping skills for veterinary care, grooming, etc. He does best with other medium energy dogs who like to run around together rather than rough and rowdy wrestlers! @betterdogdaze Foster Friday highlighting our sweet Weston! ?? Weston has been at the shelter (VCAS) since 2024. He was part of the long stay group for being there so long. He’s currently in our care for foster, but it’s not a long-term placement. Weston needs a stable long-term foster or forever home soon so he can finally settle for good. Weston is 5-year-old German Shepherd mix with the softest, most sensitive soul. When I first brought him home, he stayed on the opposite side of the room and just observed. Now a month later he follows me everywhere. He lays at my feet. He gently licks my hands and legs. He constantly checks in. His tail wags when he sees me. It’s very obvious he wants love. He seeks it. He just isn’t always sure how to accept it yet. He doesn’t want to be smothered or overwhelmed, but he leans into gentle pets and soft affection. He would do best in a house with no young kids or very heavy foot traffic. He’s potty trained, friendly with dogs of all sizes and is good with cats too. With other gentle play dogs, he really blossoms. He enjoys social time and gains confidence from positive dog interactions. He doesn’t need to live with another dog he just needs a patient person who understands he won’t be a Velcro dog overnight and is willing to continue building his confidence through walks, outings, and friendly dog meetups. He loves simple things: backyard lounging, cooling off in a kiddie pool, peaceful walks, and having a cozy dog bed inside. If you’re interested in fostering long-term or adopting Weston, please message me. We are really trying to get this boy a good place to land ??
