Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Hello, my name is Mr. Peg. I am an exhuberant 5.5 month old Shepherd cross that is ready to meet my forever family. Found with an improperly healed broken leg, my leg is healed now, and I'm ready to play and do zoomies (even though one of my back legs does not bend). I am looking for someone to love me that will modify things for me to accomodate my mobility challenges and continue to monitor me and my bones as I grow. Fear not, I still run around like a crazy pants and LOVE to be outside in the forest. I have been doing well with house training and am good with other dogs, but I have a big personality! Almost as big as my paws! Especially while I am learning, I would be best in a home with no children, as sometimes my alligator teeth get the best of me. I need lots of positive reinforcement and redirecting to work through this. Mr. Peg will need a family that understands his exercise needs and the importance of working with a positive reinforcement trainer. He is a large breed dog with some special mobility needs. It is important that his adopter understands this and follows up with their own veterinarian regularly. For more information or to set up a Meet and Greet with Mr. Peg, please contact Toronto Animal Services NORTH Shelter at (416) 338 PAWS (7297) between the hours of 10:30am - 6:30pm for an appointment.

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.
