Amos is a handsome male German Shepherd estimated around 5.5 years of age. Amos was a stray at the shelter after being hit by a car so we unfortunately do not know his history or background. At the time Amos seemed to lack house savvy which led us to believe he had been a backyard dog for most of his life. Although he still enjoys a good roll in a mud pit Amos is now also a big fan of the indoor lifestyle.
Amos is a total sweetheart with a warm, gentle personality. While he may take a moment to warm up, once he’s comfortable, he’ll be your loyal, affectionate buddy who loves being close. Amos has a laid-back nature and, though he was once a bit of a jumper, he’s learned to be more grounded and respectful. He’s fantastic for grooming, adores car rides, and never says no to a good massage. Having lived with a 10-year-old child, Amos is a big fan of kids and enjoys being part of whatever they are getting into. Amos has not lived with younger children but does well when seeing kids while out and about.
In the play yard, Amos is playful yet polite. He navigates social dynamics well, knowing when to engage and when to respect other dogs’ space. Though he enjoys romping and rolling, he’s mindful of boundaries and plays best with dogs that match his friendly energy. Amos has done great with dogs over 25 pounds but hasn’t been around any small dogs or cats.
Amos is seeking a loving, fun home that will appreciate his initial shyness and overall affectionate nature. If you think you’re the perfect match, please email us at tierhavenrescue@gmail.com for an adoption application or visit Tierhaven.rescuegroups.org for FAQs.
