Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). LEO Is an inexperienced young fella who's learning all about the world. He's a big fan of toys and unsure of other dogs until he gets aquainted. He's working on his leash skills while on daily walks with our amazing volunteers and staff. Young Leo currently weighs in at 52lbs. Leo is Heartworm Positive and will need a foster home where he can recover from Heartworm Treatment. He will need to be in a calm environment over the next couple months. The shelter is not a place where he can do this so we need to get him in a home environment to start his treatment. All medical is covered under our Emergency Medical Fund. If you are interested in donating, you can contact the shelter at 707-840-9132 or online at .dogrescuers and specify that it is for the shelter's Emergence Medical Fund. If you're interested in meeting Leo, please visit humboldtgov/2658/Animal-Shelter and fill out an application to be pre-approved to make an appointment.

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.
