Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog. Hi! My name is Garth. I am a sweet guy who just likes to do my own thing. I don't really play with toys much but just wants to hang out with you instead or with his brother Wayne who he came in with. I do pull on leash. Just some leash manners will help me greatly. I just need the extra love and attention. I do fine with other dogs. I do not know how I am okay with kids and not sure with cats as of right now. I will be looking for my new home soon. To adopt one of our animals, please visit our shelter, open Tuesday-Friday from Noon-5pm and Saturday from Noon-4pm. You may also submit an application online from our website at .HelpTheAnimalsINC/adopt.

Overview:
The German Shepherd Dog, a truly iconic breed, originated in Germany in the late 19th century, primarily for herding sheep. They are easily recognizable by their athletic, medium-to-large build, typically weighing between 50-90 pounds, with a distinct double coat that can be black and tan, sable, or solid black. Known for their intelligence and loyalty, German Shepherds possess a remarkably trainable and courageous temperament, making them exceptional working dogs in fields like police and service work. While generally good with families when properly socialized, their high energy levels and need for mental stimulation make them unsuitable for apartment living without significant daily exercise. Prospective owners should be aware of common health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as degenerative myelopathy, underscoring the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary care.
