Canaan

Adopted!

Canaan is a very handsome two-year-old, black-and-tan GSD. At about 90 pounds, he is still thin, but is steadily putting on weight. Canaan was an owner surrender because he dug under the fence and escaped from his yard. It's obvious to his foster mom that his previous owners didn't realize what they were giving up as he is a real sweetheart. Canaan has settled into foster life with ease and is enjoying all the attention he receives from his foster canine sister and his foster humans. He is learning his basic commands and knows more than he likes to admit. Canaan needs a home where he can continue these lessons. While Canaan is very inquisitive and alert, he is cautious with strangers and new activities. His foster family thinks that his previous interaction with people was limited. It takes him a little time to warm up but then he enjoys the subsequent playing, petting and/or snuggling. He plays nonstop with his GSD foster sister, rough housing and teasing, and shares her toys. Canaan has done well with other big dogs that he has met while in foster care. He is not good with cats. Canaan needs a family that will spend quality time with him, providing love and training. He is being fostered in Northern VA. KHVA
