Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog. Hi there! My name is Bear and I am 4 years old! I am a sweet boy that is true to my breed! I am protective of my people and, while I may be shy to warm up to new people, I love to play and that is the easiest way to make friends with me! I like to play with balls, frisbees, stuffed toys, squeaky and rope! I am housetrained and I do well with kids, but I have been the only pet in my home since I was a baby so I would prefer to remain the king of the house! I was surrendered to the shelter due to my family moving, and they could not take me with. When I went to get neutered, the vet found that I am in need of a full dental. I have fractures on nearly all of my teeth and one of my teeth is so dead, the pulp is showing, which makes it difficult for me to eat. If left unattended, I can easily get bacteria infections and systemic infections. The shelter is scheduling a full dental extraction for me so I can be free of pain!Give the shelter a call at (574) 267-3008 or email them at infoawlwarsaw if you have any questions about me! If not, stop by the shelter at 1048 S 325 E in Pierceton, IN 46562 to look at me! No appointments necessary!

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.
