Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog. Truckee is a four-year-old German Shepherd mix who firmly believes he's a 55-lb lap dog. He approaches with his head tucked in and gently paws at you for attention, then trots around when he’s excited, following you everywhere to supervise your tasks. He settled into home life right away, fully house-trained and crate-trained. Truckee sleeps comfortably in his crate at night and stays in it when left alone, entering it on command like a pro. He came into foster care underweight and a little unsure, so he still looks for food, but he’s learning quickly that meals and love are consistent and safe. Truckee is gentle with everyone he meets though he will need to learn more confidence when making new friends. He is curious about other dogs and cats, though unsure, so a proper introduction is recommended. He’s also been kind to all people, but does not have a lot of experience with young kids. Truckee is energetic, loves anything outdoors, and gets two walks a day plus lots of yard time. He adores his tennis balls—fetch, chewing, carrying them around—you name it. He will require a fenced yard due to his energy level and can jump quite high. This sweetheart is looking for an active, patient family to give all his love to. Are you ready for Truckee?

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.
