Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Meet Dozer! ?? This handsome, bear-like German Shepherd came to the shelter with two other shepherds. At first, he sat quietly in the corner, afraid of humans it was clear he was feeling the weight of abandonment. I made it my mission to sit with him, socialize, and earn his trust. It took about four or five patient âsit-inâ sessions, where I simply let Dozer approach me on his own terms. Iâd talk softly to him and let him sniff me until, little by little, a bond began to form. Before long, he was walking to the yard with me, tail wagging. Dozer still has some fears heâs working through, but his progress has been incredible. He recently joined a playgroup and did wonderfully with the other dogs! He even came along on our Happy Tails Hike, side by side with his shepherd pal Dora. Heâs still learning that getting out of cars isnât so scary and weâll keep working on that but this dog is truly something special: sweet, gentle, and wonderfully chill. Dozer is about five years old and ready for a patient, loving home where he can continue to blossom. If youâre looking for a loyal, teddy-bear-hearted companion, come meet Dozer at the Burbank Animal Shelter. ??

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.
