Hiya I'm Tonto! Now you may remember me from the Lone Ranger series, but I am here to tell you- I am a dog!! Not a side-kick 😊 I am a German Shepherd dog!! Even better!!
You know what I actually am?? I am a "won'tchya??" The rescue had learned about a couple of bulldogs looking for someone to take care of them.... and when we arrived to pick them up... the owner says.... "Won'tchya" take this GSD too?? He lives in the backyard.................................
SO the rescue DID!! And here I am gaining some weight, got the heartworms treated and now I am ready for my FUREVER family who doesn't throw me in the backyard and forget about me.
I just want to be a "WANTCHYA" kinda dog... the one where someone says.... "I WANTCHYA TO COME HOME WITH ME 😊 That sounds SO MUCH BETTER" :D
Adopt me and we can hang on the couch together or take a nice hike together or do whatever you want US to do!!!

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
