About

Meet Hamilton (nka Duke Hamilton)

Hamilton who goes by “Hammy” or “Little Man” is an adorable 5 month-old German Shepherd puppy who is going to be an amazing addition to his furever home. This boy is so smart and eager to please. He does well in his crate, is potty trained, and quick to learn new tricks, especially if there are treats involved. He LOVES to go on car rides, be outside, play in water, and pal around with all the furry friends that he’s met in his foster home. Hamilton is pretty easy-going for a German Shepherd puppy. He would love another playful pup in his forever home.    Like any of our dogs, this sweet, handsome boy would make a great addition to an active home that will provide the love, structure, good leadership, activity and mental stimulation that this breed needs.  Because of that, Hamilton's ideal owner will have prior GSD or other herding breed experience, and a friendly dog buddy for Hamilton.  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.   Hamiltons' adoption fee is $450, all of which goes back into offsetting 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.
