Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (short coat). Online Adoption Application › Boone was found wandering in Richmond County, NC with severe injuries. He has buck shot in his neck and is unable to put weight on his front left leg. We think he was possibly hit by a car and then targeted by hunters Despite all this, Boone is an affectionate and sensitive dog. He loves people and just wants to be comforted. He is clearly in a lot of pain but it tolerating it while we wait for the antibiotics to do their thing and for ortho to consult on his leg. It is possible we may have to amputate-- but we will do whatever is in his best interest. Boone is a staff favorite at Walnut Street Animal Hospital. He is great with other dogs and loves kids. They estimate he is ~2 years old and 60 lbs. It breaks our hearts that someone could have treated such a beautiful, gentle creature so poorly. We will get him healthy and on the road to a full life. ***************************************************************** The adoption fee is $400, which covers vetting, microchip and the spay/neuter surgery performed by a rescue-affiliated vet. All dogs receive a wellness visit and are up to date on shots appropriate for age. Breed and size is Pawfect Match Rescue's best guess and not guaranteed.

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.
