Sugar (Adoption Pending) - German Shepherd Dog (medium coat) Dog For Adoption

or more information, including Frequently Asked Questions. My name is Sugar. I got my name because when I was originally rescued at age 1, the volunteers said my disposition was as sweet as sugar. My family agreed and thus, the name Sugar stayed. I am a beautiful, 3 year-old, black and silver German Shepherd. 3 is a great age for shepherds as they are still young and playful but also content to chill out with their family. Like most German Shepherds, I want to be with my people. I live with 2 small humans that let me sleep on their bed with them which is wonderful. I'm also happy to chill by my foster mom on the floor by her bed as the big humans don't let me on the furniture. I am a working dog and thus, love being worked - whether that work is learning a new skill or going for a walk. I love to play chase whether it's a ball or another active dog to whom I've been properly introduced. My humans say I seem to have a prey drive but I will respond to commands while walking - although I wish they'd let me have fun racing a squirrel or two. I live with another dog and sometimes we foster puppies. He tends to ignore them but I love letting them crawl over me and am very tolerant of their puppy tendencies. I've lived with another dog for the last 2 years and we are used to sharing toys, food and people. I will tend to wiggle my nose into your arm if I feel another dog is getting my share of the love to remind you that I crave it too. Once you acknowledge me, I am content to lay down. People say that I am a very smart dog and want to show it. The more consistency in working with me on the commands, the happier that I am because I like pleasing my people - and earning some treats as that is a big motivator for me. Speaking of people, I love them, especially my people. I love the people in my house and anyone that else that I see they welcome into their home. I love my people so much and feel that it's my job to protect them. They say it is best for me to be kept in "place" until I see that my family is ok with visitors. For that reason, I would be a great fit for a person or family that does not have a revolving door of daily guests. If you want a loyal, smart and loving companion, please come meet me. Who doesn't need a little extra Sugar in their life? I am being fostered in Fort Mill, SC.
