#7998 Stapleton (Southern Gents') 2018
Energy Level 3 - Enjoys walks, mental stimulation, and some playtime.
Stapleton is a handsome Shiba Inu/Shepherd mix, and he is quite affectionate once he gets to know you. Weighing at approximately 47 pounds, this 7-year-old boy loves walks, chest rubs, treats, and patrolling his home and yard.
Stapleton is fully house-trained, and he is very respectful of his surroundings. Although he is working on his anxiety associated with the crate, he will go in it for a treat. He is loyal and protective of his people, and he will always check up on you.
His favorite activity going for walks around the neighborhood. However, Stapleton’s prey drive may kick in if he sees an occasional deer or squirrel. Overall, he is a joy to walk. He also enjoys playing fetch in the yard. Along with his outside personality, Stapleton is excellent with training as he listens very well.
If you are searching for a protective and loyal dog, consider him to be a perfect fit for you and your home!
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.
