Houston Shepherd Mix Libertyville, IL

Meet Houston! A fun loving puppy that loves to play and go for long walks and snuggle up at night. (estimated DOB 3/2024). He would love to find a home where he has a playful dog to rough house and go on adventures with. He loves playing with humans and dogs, and is very respectful to cats. He is learning boundaries when playing with humans, and doing great with corrections. He would do best with experienced/older kids to work with him and continue to teach him boundaries. He will freely go inside his kennel and wait patiently to be let out. He is a great boy and works hard to do what’s expected. Houston is food motivated, is potty trained and knows basic commands; sit, stay and (still in the works…) paw.  Houston has become a happy and confident pup! He can be a little cautious, but once he warms up to you, he will trust you and won't be afraid to tell you often that he loves you!

Once we review the applications, those applicants that are thought to be a good match will be contacted as quickly as possibly. We ask that you please be patient with us as we are all volunteers. Then a telephone interview will take place, references checked and a home visit will be conducted. We will then arrange for you to meet the dog. We require that all family members, including current dogs meet the dog prior to adoption. We put all of the known information in the animals description. If the animal is listed on the website, we are still accepting applications for that animal. We only remove the animal when the final adoption paperwork is signed.
