Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog. Meet Jet, our lovely black-and-tan boy wearing the brown collar, who’s sharing his foster home with his playful littermate, Koper, the sable light-blue collar pup. The resident, wonderfully nurturing Great Dane, two young kids, and a wise cat are lovingly watching over these little ones, offering gentle guidance as they explore their new world. He’s part of the litter of eight precious pups that arrived at the shelter with their loving mama, and thanks to the amazing shelter staff and their mom’s care, they’ve thrived. Once their previous owner entrusted them to the shelter, it became our turn and joy to raise them until we find these affectionate, fun, cuddly, and brave puppies their own loving shepherd-experienced families. Their wonderful mama weaned them and has been adopted! We love keeping our young pups, like these 7-week-olds at arrival, in pairs for a few weeks—this helps them adjust more smoothly, learn how to play nicely, and practice gentle puppy manners with their siblings. Plus, the guidance from the adult dogs in their foster homes is truly priceless! Jet is doing so well with potty training—he already prefers to go outside just like Koper! He snuggles in with Koper at night for deep slumbers. Both pups are toy lovers, playing with each other with gusto. They have terrific appetites for their kibble. They’re happy, healthy, brave, and smart —just waiting to bring joy to the perfect families! And we have turned on their adoption button to match them to their respective forever families. The black-and-tan pups of this litter are generally braver and the first to dive into new experiences. Both received their next booster shots and were weighed at the vet during Xmas week, which may explain the spread in the littermates' weights. We update each pup's weight after their vet visits. We’re so grateful for everyone’s incredible response to our call for fosters! And would be absolutely thrilled if you could say yes, so we can welcome more pups from shelters overflowing with sweet shepherds in need. Have you visited our YouTube channel yet? We’d love your support—please subscribe, like, and comment on our videos to help our adoptable shepherds shine!

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.
