Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Meet Flynn! This 3 year old, 69 pound, drop-dead gorgeous guy has a perfect black saddleback marking and stunning, light amber eyes – this dude is quite the looker! Handsome, but not one bit conceited. He is completely oblivious to his good looks. He does, however, love a good time! He is the first to play and the last to leave the playground. He literally plays all day long but when the day is done and he’s settled comfortably in his beloved crate, he promptly conks out and will stay that way for the night. Flynn loves his bright orange Kong toy and will faithfully carry his beloved Kong around all day and night. He’s learning to play fetch. He will run like crazy to get the toy, often catching it in mid-air, but is still learning to drop it consistently on demand. He’s crate trained and loves his crate and will often go in it for naps and short rests during the day. Flynn responds to some basic commands. He’ll sit even when it’s darn hard to do so! Flynn is still learning to cuddle. He does love to be touched, however, and will stand perfectly still for long periods of time if his ears and neck are getting scratched. He gets along well with all other dogs and doesn’t mind a busy house with lots of visitors and more new humans to meet. He does love his new life!! He wants to be by his humans all the time. If he’s outside, you can find him staring in the window and wondering where you are! He does well with older kids but hasn’t been tested on younger ones just yet. He greets all adult visitors in a friendly way, always eager to meet someone new to play with! Flynn gets along beautifully with his fur foster sister and can often get her in the spirit of a good game of chase! Flynn is still working on potty training and has been known to have accidents from time to time. He is still very shy on the leash and will need some diligent training to become a good leash walker. He is quite mesmerized by cats, though and although he doesn’t display a prey drive or cat aggression, a cat-free home is probably best for Flynn. Flynn shows little interest in the world outside of our 4 foot fence. He knows that life is good on the inside! If you are looking for a loyal, fun and energetic best friend, Flynn just might be your man! If you are interested in adopting Flynn, please contact your adoption coordinator. If you do not yet have an adoption coordinator, please complete an adoption application at .freedomgermanshepherdrescue . Flynn is being fostered outside of Winston-Salem, NC.

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.
