Meet Vlad! The Warrick Humane Society Pet Of The Week

Meet The WHS Pet Of The Week

Meet Vlad! The Warrick Humane Society pet of the week! Vlad is a four-year-old German Shepherd who comes to the WHS via Evansville Animal Care and Control. Up to date on all his vaccines, deworming, and prevention, Vlad is also microchipped and neutered. The only thing Vlad is missing is his furever home. The shelter describes him as sweet, energetic, and somewhat protective in nature. He loves stuffed animals, carrying them around, and presenting them to guests. Got a thing for rope toys and spending time outside running or walking? Vlad does!

He is a smart, loyal canine who would flourish in the right environment of patient and understanding adopters. Why, you might ask? Vlad has some trauma from his past with male adults. WHS states he has been absolutely wonderful for everyone at the shelter, but wants to make sure this information is understood for those considering adoption. More specifically, here's what WHS said about Vlad:

"While he did not do well with the adult man in the home, Vlad has done great with everyone here at the shelter. We believe his behavior may be connected to past trauma or specific triggers, and he would do best in a home that understands and respects those boundaries and is able to work with him."

According to his previous owners, Vlad was nearly the perfect dog. He is house-trained, crate-trained, leash-trained, and loves a good car ride. Vlad does well with children 10+, women, and other dogs of any breed. Vlad comes with built-in trick ability, already knowing and performing the commands of sit, stay, heel, and down.
