Medium (25 – 60 lbs) Learn MoreNewton is a one year old, 35 lb, neutered male Shepard mix. He had outlived his days at the Central Valley shelter when we scooped him up, just in the nick of time. Upon his rescue he howled out the car window at the passing fire trucks, but probably also out of happiness to be free!
We are thrilled to have him, and to help him unite with his future forever family. Newton’s not just a cute face, he’s a big dog in a small body. If you know Shepherds, then you know their high intelligence and their ability to be great guard dogs. Newton has all that and more.
He was quite the country dog when we got him, but he now knows many commands, and learns very quickly. He’s easy to work with but will need continued diligent obedience training. He will do best with strong boundaries and leadership. He’s crate trained, and great playing with other dogs. He’s also a very quiet dog and doesn’t complain much, but he sure has a true Shepherds bark when he has something to say!
