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

Description

Posted Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Hey there, I’m Pops. I am an approximately 6-year-old, 89 pound, German Shepherd mix who was found wandering the streets. My foster mom doesn’t know much about my background, but I probably didn’t have a very good life since it takes me a little time to warm up to new people. I will continue to get better as long as someone has the patience to continue working with me. I like to take things slow, but once I trust you, you won’t be able to go anywhere (even the shower) without me. However, since I get a little scared when too many people are jumping or running around me, I would do best in a home without kids and would love a home that is quiet without a lot of visitors so I can feel safe. I have worked really hard to be in public around strangers but I prefer to be a homebody with the people I love the most. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a couch potato. I love to go on long walks, and hikes and I even learned that I like the beach and ocean. It’s fun when my foster mom throws the ball in the waves and I get to run in and fetch it. I would prefer to keep all my future family's love to myself but do well with calm, older, not-in-your-face dogs. I am definitely not a fan of cats or squirrels. Have a ball? I'm always ready to fetch it for you and bring it back especially if it has a squeaker in it. Because I love to play fetch and am shy when meeting new people, my ideal furever home would have a six-foot fence. My foster mom also says I’m really smart and a quick learner - that must be a good thing because I always get a treat or a scratch on the head when I do something spectacular. Another great thing about me is that I have impeccable bathroom habits. I never potty in the house and I’m quick to tell my human when I need to go out. I am crate trained and my foster mom says I'm a dream on a leash. I’m not a barker unless a stranger comes into my house - then I go from 0 to 10 in seconds. I am an awesome house alarm if I do say so myself. I consider myself a foodie and not afraid to beg for a bit of whatever you’re eating, just to make sure it is fit for consumption, but I’m told it isn’t polite, so I’m trying hard to remember my manners and go to my place when it’s not my dinner time. If you are looking for a loyal companion who will love to be with you every moment, I’m your guy. If you are interested in adding me to your family, please contact your adoption coordinator. If you do not yet have an adoption coordinator, please complete an adoption application at .freedomgermanshepherdrescue. I am being fostered near Raleigh.
