Juelz is a gorgeous sable colored 3 year old male shepherd that was given up to the Roanoke animal shelter. He is a very large, handsome, easy tempered boy that has been a wonderful dog in his new foster home. He is very gentle natured, loves people and kids, is friendly and social with all the dogs he has met in his foster home and on his recent trips to the dog park. He loves to roll over and let you give him belly rubs. Juelz is house trained, and although doesn’t love he tolerates being crated. He knows basic commands although he is a little lazy in responding to them sometimes. He is a big guy with a very deep bark that rattles the windows when a stranger knocks at the door, but he has been a nearly perfectly gentleman around the house in his foster home. Juelz is only fair on a leash as he wants to pull, but we are working on that and he is showing signs of progress in this area. Although he hasn’t shown it in his foster home, his previous handlers said he is a bit of an escape artist if he gets agitated. Juelz does have some fear issues when he encounters new situations or loud noises and especially when he is taken for a walk in a wide open space that he is not familiar with. His foster dad has been working building Juelz trust and confidence and has noticed improvement in the short week he has been in foster care. Juelz needs to go to a home that has the patience to work with him in continuing his confidence building to make him the wonderful gentle boy that he truly is.
