Meet Tackle *Football Season Litter*

Meet Tackle, the sweet and playful German Shepherd who’s here to steal hearts—not tackle them! He’s fully potty-trained, crate-trained, and great at leash-walking. Smart and quick-to-learn, Tackle knows “sit” and patiently waits for his meals. This social butterfly loves playing with everyone and would be thrilled to have an older, similarly-sized sibling. His hobbies include tug-of-war, squirrel-watching, and meeting new people. When he’s not exploring, he’s the best snuggle buddy around. Though he’s still a teen with funny habits like stealing towels off the oven door and moving shoes around the house, Tackle’s charm and loving nature will make you fall for him instantly.Like any of our dogs, this handsome boy would make a great addition to an active home that will provide the love, structure, good leadership, activity and mental stimulation that his breed needs. Because of that, Tackle's ideal owner will have prior GSD or similar herding breed experience, and a friendly dog buddy for Tackle. Even if you exercise and play with your dog daily in your fenced yard, please remember that you MUST still take your dog out on daily walks and outings, in order to provide sufficient stimulation, ward off boredom, and work on leash skills, and manners. Tackle's adoption fee is $450, all of which goes back into offseting our high-cost vetting expenses and rescuing more dogs.  We are a 100% volunteer-run rescue group and rely on adoption fees and donations to continue saving lives. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, fecal, deworming, flea/tick and heartworm preventative, heartworm tested if old enough (and treated if positive), and microchipped. Please visit http://heartlandgsrescue.rescuegroups.org/info/adoption for more information about our adoption process and requirements, and to apply.

Adoption contract is signed after successful meet and greet. Adoption fees range from $250-450 depending on the dog's age.
