John - Doberman Pinscher and Rhodesian Ridgeback

Hello! My name is John and I've been looking for a home for almost one month now.  I've made lots of friends but am looking for a furever home! I'm passed the young stage now so am looking more to relax and bond with my next best friend. I'm not super outgoing with new dogs and am not very fond of being handled in any invasive way. My friends at the shelter suggest I don't re-home with a family containing any children under 5. Below is addition information about me and my breed! If you'd like to adopt me, you can find me here at the Front Street Animal Shelter!
