Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 300.00. Duke 7431 is a handsome dog looking for a loving forever home. He is eager to please and is toy motivated. Inside the house he is respectful and agile. He loves riding in a vehicle in his crate as well as playing around any source of water. He will let you know if he needs to go out out by standing by the door. He is potty trained and will often self load into his crate where he settles quickly. Duke is somewhat interested in deer, rabbits, and squirrels but he prefers to chase flies and fireflies. He will gradually add more muscle mass after losing it during a stint in an animal shelter. Duke shows some reactivity to other dogs so proper introductions are mandatory. He absolutely loves his person and he would thrive in a quiet home as an only dog for single person or couple who has ample time to care for him and provide a daily routine that includes sufficient daily physical exercise and mental stimulation. Duke has not been around cats however it would most likely be a bad idea. In his recent wellness exam Duke was given a good report and was very friendly with the vet and vet technician. Approved adopters can email Duke's foster at 2025adoptiongmail.

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.
