More about Pinocchio

Meet your new best friend, Pinocchio! This handsome 2-year-old, 64 pound German Shepherd is equal parts playful companion and loyal cuddle buddy. He has lots of energy and absolutely loves to run, play, and be part of the action—so a home with a securely fenced yard (6 foot preferred) would be his dream come true. Pinocchio is housebroken and crate trained and thrives on companionship. He would do best with someone who works from home or is around often, as he can become anxious or bored when left alone for long periods. With the right routine and attention, he truly shines and forms a deep bond with his person. He’s currently living with a female German Shepherd and does great with her, and while he does like to chase the cat, it’s more playful curiosity than aggression. He would do best in a home without small children, where he can feel comfortable and understood. At his core, he’s a sweet, affectionate dog who loves to snuggle just as much as he loves to play. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will stick by your side, keep you active, and shower you with love—he might just be the perfect match for you.
