Cornell is a 7 year old Shepherd mix, weighing in at 88lbs. He is a gentle guy. He plays a little but really just wants to stay by your side and be pet. If you stop petting him, he he will nudge you with his head.
He is calm, and just wants to know love, and give it right back in return.
If you would like to foster or adopt Cornell, please fill out the appropriate application on our website.(www.diamondsintheruffanimalrescue.rescuegroups.org)
Don't forget, fostering is free! It doesn't cost you a dime. DITR will supply you with everything you need!
Cornell is good with kids, dogs, and cats. He has an incredibly laid back demeanor. Cornell would do best in a home with other laid back dogs. Dominant dogs make Cornell feel threatened. Because he's such a great dog, he does his best to leave these situations, but we want to make sure he is never forced to defend himself. Dog parks are out of the question for our boy. He doesn't like the attention, he considers himself a wallflower.
Cornell would be an exceptional dog for seniors, or for those who may live in an apartment. Although he is a bigger dog, he doesn't require a lot of space. He loves to just chill and relax.
Right now Cornell is in boarding (we had to get him out of the kill shelter he was in, and had no fosters available).
Please consider opening your home to our sweet boy. We promise it's a decision you will not regret!
