Summit may be shy at first, but give him some time and he’ll show his true colors! This handsome German Shepherd mix is proof that the best things come to those who wait. At just over a year old, Summit has already mastered the art of leash walking like a champion, making him the perfect companion for daily strolls around the neighborhood or weekend adventures.<\/p>\n
