BRODY: NOT AT SHELTER (SIERRA) - GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Brody is doing wonderfully in his foster home, which includes one cat and one dog. In just 24 hours, he’s shown himself to be confident, adaptable, and calm. He rides well in the car, walks nicely on leash, and handles toys gently. Brody has shown no reactivity to passing vehicles and only minimal interest in cats or other dogs. While he’ll continue to be assessed, he’s already proving to be a well-mannered, family-friendly shepherd.Brody was brought to us by a family who had him for only a couple weeks, and realized they had made a big mistake, getting a big dog that needed exercise at their age. Brody was in another home before that, and we don’t know what his history was prior, but someone has loved him, someone spent some time, teaching him about house training, and someone had done a little leash work with him. He knows how to sit using voice commands and a hand command. He is not a pushy dog, but rather submissive. He is on the smaller side, and we are guessing he was from a backyard breeder. Regardless , he has a wonderful personality, is friendly with every human he has met, and we would feel very comfortable, placing him in a home with other dogs who are also friendly. We were told he has interest in cats, and we take that to me that he would probably chase a cat. As far as children, we don’t know what his exposure has been to children, and for dogs where we have no history, we recommend children over the age of six or seven, who are dog savvy, and no not to run, grab, or sit on dogs. Does it sound like he might be a good match for you? What else can we tell you? He is extremely gentle, and if you touch the toy he drops it immediately no tug of war. he also drops the ball at your feet when playing fetch. he’s been a delight to have around PLEASE NOTE: This pet has been posted by Friends of Campbell County Animal Control, Rustburg, VA.
