Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Meet Levi, a striking white German Shepherd who arrived at the shelter on August 1st. Levi has had a complicated start, coming to us after being found on a property where he was reported to have killed a chicken, and possibly a goat. Since then, he has been adjusting to a new way of life and slowly learning to trust. While still cautious and timid in new situationsâespecially on leash or during car ridesâLevi is showing steady progress. Once he relaxes, he enjoys exploring on walks, running around, and playing energetically with other dogs. He has no history of food or toy guarding and loves to cuddle when he feels comfortable. Levi is a high-energy, playful boy who thrives with confident canine companions. He plays rowdy, so he would do best with another medium or large dog that can match his style. Cats and small animals are not recommended, as he does have a drive to chase smaller creatures. Around people, Levi is sweet but shyâhe may try to avoid strangers at first, but with time, patience, and consistency, he bonds strongly to âhis personâ and finds comfort in their presence. Levi is crate trained and making progress with house training, though his anxiety can sometimes lead to accidents. He does best in a calm, structured home where he isnât left alone for long periods, as he struggles with separation anxiety. This sensitive boy needs an adopter who will provide stability, reassurance, and plenty of outlets for his energy. In return, Levi promises unwavering loyalty, affection, and the joy of watching a shy, beautiful shepherd blossom into his best self.

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.
