Meet Nitro, a 1-year-old German Shepherd (possibly Dutch Shepherd) in the middle of the 36–75 lbs range. Nitro is a sociable, energetic, and affectionate young dog who loves receiving attention and connecting with people. He is alert, intelligent, and curious about the world around him, making every walk a fun adventure.
Though he came in with little to no leash training, Nitro is quickly learning routines with the help of dog walkers and shows encouraging progress every day. He enjoys exploring trails, sniffing out every scent, and staying aware of his surroundings. Nitro is also interested in other dogs—he came in with Jumanji (#806819) and Meadow (#806821), possibly his siblings—and would likely enjoy meeting compatible canine friends.
