Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Hey there, I’m Brutus I know, I’m a big guy—about 90 pounds of muscle and love. Sometimes people take one look at me and think I might be too much dog to handle… but I promise, I’m really just a big softie who wants to be someone’s good boy. I walk pretty nicely on a leash (even if squirrels are very interesting), and I already know “sit.” I even know my name and perk right up when someone calls me. The volunteers say I’m easy to leash up, calm in my kennel, and one of the most well-behaved dogs they’ve walked. I like hearing that—it makes my tail thump against the floor. The volunteers think I’ve had some training before because, I try hard to remember my manners. I’m not one for drama—medium energy suits me just fine. A walk, a treat, a kind word, and maybe a comfy spot to rest my head near you… that sounds like a perfect day. If you can look past my size, you’ll see a loyal, gentle heart ready to love you with everything I’ve got. I may be big, but I think there’s just more of me to love. Love,Brutus Brutus has participated in shelter playgroups and may enjoy a compatible canine friend in his new home. Looking for a buddy for your dog?

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.
