Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Smokey came into our care as a forced surrender due to living conditions and neglect. He was infested with fleas, and possible mange (or maybe reaction due to the fleas) His coat is going to take a while to get back to normal and he is getting medicated baths to help the process. He is about 7 years old, and even though his appearance doesn't look the best, he has the gentle-est heart! He is also underweight so he is getting extra meals to help him gain weigh slowly! We were told he does not do the best with other dogs and would prefer to be the only canine in the home, regardless of him living with 2 other dogs in his previous home. Cats and kids are unknown, but there was a cat with babies in the house previously. If you would like to meet me, please visit our website and complete the pre-adoption application. Once it has been processed then we can make a date to get together! All dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm tested (if over 2 years old), vaccinated, dewormed, flea and tick treated, microchipped and more before adoption. Our adoption policies include: Application, Vet Reference, Landlord approval & Criminal Background Check. We do not do same day adoptions. We request that you call for an appointment after your application has been approved to come and visit the dog of your choice. If you have a dog currently, you should bring him/her along to meet the new dog so we can see how everyone interacts. Please visit our website for additional information. The online application can be found at :hsburnettcty/adoption-application/

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.
