In foster

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. **George is currently part of an offsite program in Hillsborough. Don't worry he is still available for adoption and can go home with his new family the last week of April. The adoption counselor will fill you in on the details of meeting and adopting this special boy!**
