Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog. Adoption Fee: 400.00. Toby is looking for a HERO! Today has waited 3 long years for you to find him. Toby was failed so many times. Turned into a shelter with his brother in Florida and was adopted by a couple who moved to PA and left him tied in a carport. He managed to escape, and a kind gentleman housed him overnight until we could try to find his owner. In the morning, we picked him up, and on our way to the rescue, his owner contacted us. We went to meet with them and when told where he was staying, we asked if they would prefer to surrender instead of him living outside all alone. They agreed to surrender and then handed up the paperwork from the shelter. That is when we realized, this poor boy was heartworm positive. The shelter had told the adopters and even provided them with vet information and free treatment... months later, he had still not received the life-saving vet care. Since being with ODAAT he has received his heartworm treatment and has been patiently waiting for his forever family to find him. He is a good boy who would do best in an only dog home. He is actually fearful of other dogs. He is the bestest boy. Toby was born in September 2018. If you would like a companion who would love to go for walks and lay at your feet while you work, Toby is your boy. When applying to adopt through ODAAT, please know that we take pride in placing our animals appropriately based on their needs and personality. We want the best family for them and the perfect fit for your family. All applications are ran prior to choosing an adopter. This process takes time and we do not adopt out on a "first come first served" basis. Applications are found on our website .onedogatatime.us.

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.
