Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Duke is a handsome 2 year old German Shepherd with a big heart and a sensitive soul. He has been through a lot in his young life and is now looking for a calm, understanding home where he can truly feel safe and loved.Due to a leg injury, Duke requires ongoing medical attention and close monitoring. Because of this, he cannot be kept outdoors and must live inside as a valued member of the family. He does enjoy supervised yard time and is fine going outside for bathroom breaks, but indoor living is essential for his health and comfort.Duke would do best in a home with no young children. A household with teens aged 16 and older or adults only would be the ideal environment for him. He needs a quiet, structured setting where his boundaries are respected.Crating is not an option for Duke. His past experiences have made confinement extremely stressful for him, and he needs a home that can accommodate this. An experienced German Shepherd owner is required, someone who understands the breedâs intelligence, sensitivity, and need for consistent guidance.Duke will benefit greatly from continued training, structure, and positive reinforcement. While he still has a lot to learn, he is eager to bond and thrives on attention, patience, and affection. With the right person, Duke will be a deeply loyal companion who just wants to be loved and understood.If you are an experienced GSD owner with the time, compassion, and dedication to help Duke heal both physically and emotionally, he could be an incredibly rewarding addition to your life.

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.
