Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Possum is a sweet, playful shepherd whoâs full of energy and love. He adores sticking close to his people â sometimes so much that he tries to crawl into your lap, even though heâs a big guy! Heâs a total goofball when it comes to fetch and playtime, but heâs also a loyal, attentive companion who loves following you around and soaking up affection. This gentle giant is a dream on walks: calm, friendly with people, and nonreactive to other dogs. Heâs house-trained, listens well, and is learning his new routine beautifully. With his goofy personality and giant-furry-baby charm, Possum is looking for a patient, loving home where he can play, cuddle, and be adored. I'm available for a 10 day adoption trial!

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.
