My name is Keiki (Hawaiian for “child”) and I’m a healthy 14-month old GSD mix. I’m a beautiful girl, just about 45 pounds. Being a German Shepherd mix, energy comes naturally to me. I’m a very active girl. Playing fetch with the ball is my favorite thing in the world and my current family uses this to enhance my training. I know sit, down, stay, leave it, touch, and don’t touch to name the important commands. I could use some help with recall and a little impulse control. My friends at CalPaws and family say I’m super smart which means I like a challenge. I love doing doggy puzzles and searching for toys and treats that my family hides in the yard. I will find anything you lose outside! I love hikes and runs outside too. Long walks where I can sniff many new things makes me so happy. I could use a little help with my leash manners, but with a prong, I’m a very good girl and get into the groove with you. Oh, and running. I love to run! Whether it be in a large, safe field, or if you’re an avid runner, which no one in my current family is, I’m your girl. If you need a little break, take me to the dog park! I make friends with lots of dogs and love to engage in play with my fellow canines. After a day of ball play, puzzles, long walks, and even dog park, I can still have energy to spare. At night, give me a good chewy (Benebones or even an antler), and I’ll be happy to lie on the floor beside you and chew until I drift off to sleep. Did I also mention I love long car rides and can ride with you for hours to our adventure spots? I’d love an active home with someone who’s a bit savvy with working breeds like me. Active preteens and teens who could take me out to play with them would be plus, but I’m also really happy with someone or a couple looking for an adventure buddy. No small children for me as I tend to get overexcited and sometimes trip them when I’m trying to greet or give them love. I could do really well as an only dog as I see all other dogs as playmates and won’t leave them alone, which can make them a little cranky. Plus, I see all toys as mine. Not mean about it and no aggression, I just hoard a little. I could possibly have a doggy sibling, they would just have to be really patient with me as I grow out of my puppy antics. I’m workable with cats, but I do get very excited when I see them so it might be a bit much for them. I just see everyone as a playmate! I would also like a house with routine and structure as I thrive on consistency and am still learning as I grow. I hope to find my furever home with you. I’ll be the reason you want to go on adventures and I’ll be your protector throughout it all. I’m completely crate trained and sleep in mine throughout the night, not a single peep from me. After all, we’ll need a good night’s sleep before a new day together! if you are interested in adopting this dog, please review our adoption process and then fill out an online adoption form at https://www.calpaws.org/adopting.
