There has to be someone out there to save Auto🥺
Have you ever met a dog whose heart is just as big as he is? Meet Auto, a magnificent 3-year-old German Shepherd looking for his very, very lucky forever home right here at the Mendocino Coast Humane Society in Fort Bragg, CA.
Let’s be completely honest about shelter life: it is loud, chaotic, and downright overwhelming for a sensitive, loyal soul like Auto. Because of this, Auto doesn’t always show his best side when he’s sitting inside his kennel. Please, please don't let his kennel demeanor fool you off the bat!
Step outside the shelter gates with him, and the magic happens. Auto transforms into a complete, wiggly goofball whose absolute favorite thing in the world is simply being with his people.
What Auto is Looking For:
Room to Run: At a handsome 80 pounds, Auto is a big boy with a lot of love and energy to give. He would thrive in a home with plenty of space for him to stretch his legs and be the active adventurer he was born to be.
A Dedicated Leader: Because of his size and strength, he'll need someone who can comfortably handle a large dog on leash and continue helping him be his best self.
His Forever Person: More than anything, Auto just wants a family to call his own. He is ready to trade the shelter stress for cozy nights and outdoor adventures by your side.
Smart & Ready to Learn!
Auto isn't just a pretty face—he’s a smartypants who is super treat-motivated and loves to train! He already has an impressive resume of commands under his collar, knowing sit, down, touch, and place. Working for treats is his favorite game, making him a dream for someone who loves a dog eager to bond through positive reinforcement.
This sweet boy has so much love left to give and desperately deserves a soft place to land. Could you be the one to show him what a real home feels like?
