Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog. Hi! My name is Wayne. I am a little more scared and just wants back to the kennel where it is safe. I do come up to you and sit with you. I have no interest in toys. I pretty much just hang out with you and maybe try sitting in your lap. I do also pull-on leash but teaching leash manners helps with me. I do fine around other dogs. I should be fine around kids or i do not know about cats as of right now. I am ready for my new home. 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.
