BEAR - GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). // Find our applications at .midwestanimalrescue Adoption Fee $200 plus tax Hi. I’m Bear! It’s said that each of us is a product of our environment. That’s only partially true in my case. Things were pretty rough for a while, but I haven’t let that affect my outlook on life. Now that I’m in a calm and kind environment, my playful and curious personality can shine again! Despite being a senior, I have lots of energy and absolutely love walks and playing fetch! Especially fetch. I sometimes pull when out walking—those darn squirrels and rabbits—but my foster mom gives me an 8 out of 10 for leash manners. I get along well with cats, smaller dogs, and kids. I’m pretty wary of strangers, but warm up quickly when I’m introduced carefully to new people. I’m a good boy, fully housetrained, accept my kennel, and know basic commands. And did I mention that I love playing fetch? I look forward to being a loyal companion for someone who likes to train and work with German Shepherds (and play fetch!). Are you that special person? Bear will thrive in a home without shared walls or hallways as he perfers to have his own space Bear has an immune-mediated condition that without medication creates painful draining tracts around his anus. Daily medication, either a pill or ointment applied to the bum, will need to be given lifelong to manage this condition. He has responded very well to the medication in rescue and never let his condition slow him down to begin with! or *The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification! Completion of an Adoption Application via our website .midwestanimalrescue is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process. *Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care. Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks. Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance. //
