Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Meet Dusty, a charming shelter dog. Initially shy and nervous, Dusty might take a moment to warm up and may not be a fan of everyone one he meets. However, having his circle of friends around makes him more willing to spread his social circle with a bit of help and patience. Dusty is not a fit for every home and would need a regular routine and patience to best help him settle into his new home. He requires an experienced home and would succeed best in a single dog home that can really work on his social skills, respect his boundaries and make sure others do as well. He would do best in a home with only adults. Once he feels safe, his playful and cuddly nature shines through, revealing his true, friendly spirit. Adopting Dusty means gaining a loyal friend who will soon become your devoted companion, filling your home with joy and affection. He has been awarded a GoodPup Scholarship (a $200 value), which is one-on-one training at no cost to the adopter!

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.
