ZAYLEN - GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog / Mixed. Meet Zaylen Zaylen is a strikingly handsome 2-year-old German Shepherd weighing about 55 pounds. He has a relaxed, easygoing personality with just the right amount of playful energy. He can be a little shy with new faces and places, but he warms up quickly and becomes a loyal, curious companion who enjoys being near his people. Zaylen is happy relaxing in his bed, yet he also loves outdoor time and walks. He does well on a leash, rides nicely in the car, is house trained, and gets along with other dogs. He has also done well meeting elementary school–aged children. Zaylen is a gentle, devoted boy looking for a loving home to call his own. Special Notes Zaylen has a hypermetric gait in all four limbs, meaning his steps are higher and more exaggerated than typical. His veterinarian believes this is likely due to a congenital difference in his cerebellum (the part of the brain that coordinates movement). This condition does not appear degenerative and does not impact his quality of life. His reflexes are intact, no other physical concerns have been noted, and he is bright, responsive, and engaged. His movement may look a little different, but it does not define him — it’s simply part of what makes Zaylen unique. Applications can be filled out at .piedmontanimalrescue/adopt!
