Critter Details

Meet Negro! A devoted two-year-old German Shepherd mix currently in San Diego, CA, whose essence is a heart full of loyalty wrapped in a classic tan-and-black coat. At around 80 pounds, this gentle soul is looking for a new loving home after the heartbreaking loss of his beloved pet parent. Negro’s world changed suddenly, but his steady spirit and affectionate nature remain unwavering. He’s the kind of dog who builds strong connections, his greatest joy is simply being by your side! Whether joining you on a peaceful walk or settling in for a quiet evening on the couch, Negro is a constant, comforting presence. His favorite pastimes include carrying around his trusty Nylabone and playing a casual game of fetch, though retrieving the ball isn’t exactly his strong suit, his enthusiasm more than makes up for it! Kind, gentle, and incredibly patient, Negro thrives in the company of children and is especially fond of his foster’s nine-year-old granddaughter. He is crate trained, house-trained, microchipped, neutered, and fully up to date on vaccinations. With a calm, balanced energy and a loving heart, he’s an ideal match for a family seeking a faithful companion. Negro knows his basic commands ("come,” “sit,” and “stay”) and is quick to adapt to new routines. He handles short periods alone with ease, but he flourishes most when he has human companionship throughout the day. While generally neutral around other dogs, he may do well with a calm female pup or as the only dog in a home where he can receive the one-on-one attention he loves. One important note: Negro is not compatible with cats. The most touching thing about Negro is his quiet, unwavering devotion. Despite the loss he's endured, he remains gentle, trusting, and full of love to give. He’s not just looking for a new home, he’s looking for a heart to belong to.
