Meet Pretzel - Courtesy post
Meet Pretzel!
This handsome dude is a gorgeous 50-60 lb., 1-1/2-year-old Shepherd/Golden mix (our best guess) rescued off the streets of Southern California with a broken leg after being hit by a car. His rescuers got the surgery he needed, took him under their wing, and he’s now made a full recovery.
Pretzel is an athletic boy who’s always up for an adventure! He’s got a huge play drive and LOVES rope toys and orange Chuck-It balls — those are his absolute favorites. Swimming, fetch, tug, hiking, running: if it’s active and outdoors, Pretzel is all in.
He’s a very high energy guy who needs a high energy, active person with lots of patience and dog experience. He thrives with structure and plenty of daily stimulation. He needs an active home that can give him several hours a day of exercise and enrichment through hiking, running, swimming, or other outdoor adventures. He’s smart, enthusiastic, and eager to engage, but can occasionally get overstimulated — so clear boundaries will help him settle. Basically he’s an adorable large puppy!
He has been staying with a trainer for the past 9 months who has worked with him a lot, so Pretzel has a great foundation in his training. Adopter(s) should be committed to continuing Pretzel’s training and daily activity so he can continue to thrive. Pretzel's trainer thinks he could be a good agility dog.
He’s really a super sweet guy and does amazingly well with other playful dogs and people. He isn’t a cuddler — Pretzel is simply too energetic to want to be still for long! He prefers play and movement over pets and snuggles, and he’s happiest when he has a job to do or a game to play. He’s neutered and up to date on all his doggie shots.
In the home, Pretzel is a big goofball. He does well with crate time, place work and regular rest breaks to help him get calm. He’s made great progress in training and walks nicely with structure. With new people he may get excited at first, but he redirects beautifully with toys and engagement.
We're saying no kitties or young kids in the home because Pretzel can be a bit mouthy from time to time. But he loves other very active and playful dogs!
Pretzel will be an incredible pal for someone who loves adventure, enjoys training, and appreciates a dog with drive and enthusiasm. He’ll be the happiest, most fun companion for an active person who’s ready to bring out the best in him.
He's currently in Southern California but there aren't enough available adopters in his area who want an active boy, so Summit Dog Rescue is stepping in to help find him the perfect forever home. We can help arrange transport for him here to Colorado if needed.
For more info and/or to apply to adopt Pretzel, send us an email at [email protected], telling us a bit about yourself, your home environment and your lifestyle. A volunteer will get back to you shortly. Thanks.

Disclaimer: The companion animal you are interested in is a courtesy post. Summit Dog Rescue often helps dogs and cats outside our organization to find their forever homes, and these are called "courtesy posts.” By courtesy posting pets from owners and other rescues, we offer our website (and sometimes email assistance) as a resouce to help their pet gain extra exposure. The pet’s bio comes directly from the owner or rescue, and we expect them to provide accurate information, to the best of their knowledge. Summit Dog Rescue in most cases has not met or evaluated these companion animals, so no information about a courtesy post dog or cat is guaranteed. We cannot accept responsibility for any injury or damages to any person or property caused by any courtesy post animals. Courtesy post pets are the sole responsibility of the owner and the adopter. In addition, SDR cannot take these pets in if the courtesy post adoption does not work out.
Also, although we occasionally might ask you to email us (if you’re interested in adopting a courtesy post pet), it’s just so we can help the owner or rescue connect with applicants. You’ll be adopting your new pet directly from the owner or the other rescue, not from Summit Dog Rescue. Please let us know if you’re comfortable with us sharing your information with the owner of the courtesy post pet.
