Hey there, I'm George, and I'm on the lookout for my forever human! I'm a
bright and devoted German Shepherd who adores meeting new faces. I'm a
breeze in the car, so let's embark on some adventures together! After
our outings, how about cozying up on the couch for some quality snuggle
time? You'll get a kick out of the quirky ways I nod off to sleep. I
relish our walks and am quite the sniffing aficionado. While I sometimes
get excited by other dogs and small critters, I'm eager to learn and
grow alongside you as we tackle training together. When it comes to
playtime, nothing beats a good old-fashioned game of fetch with my
favorite ball, preferably a lacrosse one like my foster parents'!
Whether it's a toss from you or a self-thrown game, count me in! A
spacious, securely fenced yard would be a dream come true for me to romp
around in. Initially, I may want you by my side outdoors, but once I've
bonded with you and feel secure, I'll happily enjoy some solo playtime.
Having you work from home would be ideal for us to spend our days
together.
I would also love another dog to spend time with. I can be a little
selective and have a strong preference for female dogs. I am living
with 2 dogs in foster right now - a bigger male shepherd mix - I love
playing chase and wrestlemania in the yard but can be a little
possessive of my space in the house. The small female dog I am living
with is my absolute favorite. I follow her around, watch her while she
sleeps and try so hard to get her to play with me, but when she screams
in my face, I take a clue and back off. I also fell hard for an older,
female yellow lab - I was really gentle with her and let her lead the
way. On the other hand, I met a large unneutered male dog that I did
not like at all - no matter how cute or playful he tried to be. What
can I say, I have a type!
I've already mastered commands like sit, down, and paw, and I'm
diligently working on perfecting wait and leave it. I do pretty well in
my crate and only crew for a few minutes, then I settle down and snooze
away. Positive training methods are the way to go for me! Oh, and
let's not forget about food-my absolute favorite! I do have a manageable
lifelong condition where my pancreas needs a little extra help with
digestion. It's nothing a sprinkle of enzyme powder on my food mixed
with water can't fix. Just give it 15 minutes to activate, and I'm good
to go.
