Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Grandpa is a 10-year-old shepherd with the sweetest, calmest soul. Heâs an incredibly good boy who walks politely on leash, handles beautifully, and takes everything in stride, including baths and medications. He eats well and is happiest when life is peaceful and predictable. What truly sets Grandpa apart is his love for people. He is deeply affectionate and wants nothing more than to be close to his humans, soaking up cuddles and companionship. Even while needing some isolation for treating his pneumonia, he eagerly enjoys every moment of attention he gets and bonds quickly with those caring for him. Grandpa would be the perfect companion for someone looking for a gentle, loving senior who will bring quiet comfort and loyal companionship into their home. If you have a soft spot for sweet old souls, Grandpa is ready to fill your heart. Grandpa is currently being treated for pneumonia and dermatitis as well. He arrived at the shelter underweight and is working on getting healthy in foster.

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.
