About Stapleton
With his gorgeous, thick golden fur, Stapleton is as handsome as he is loyal. This Shiba Inu/Shepherd mix is affectionate once he gets to know you, and he loves nothing more than being your trusted companion, whether he’s patrolling the yard or keeping you company indoors.
Personality
Stapleton is protective and attentive, always keeping an eye on his people. While he may take a little time to warm up to new people, once he does, his loyalty is unwavering. Outside, he enjoys meeting other dogs and is happy to let people come to him at his own pace.
Energy Level
Stapleton has a well-balanced energy level and loves outdoor activities. His favorite pastime is going for walks around the neighborhood, where he happily explores his surroundings. He also loves a good game of fetch in the yard and enjoys his role as “yard patrol.”
Skills and Training
Stapleton is fully house-trained and respectful of his home environment. Although he’s still building confidence with the crate, he’s making progress and will happily go in for a treat. He’s also attentive to training and listens well, making him a joy to walk—just watch out for his occasional prey drive if he spots a squirrel or deer!
Companionship
If you’re looking for a protective, loyal companion, Stapleton could be your perfect match. He thrives in a calm environment where he can build confidence at his own pace. With patience, Stapleton’s affection and loyalty will make him an irreplaceable part of your life.
All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
This dog's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
