ARTIC***CONTACT SHELLY lovedogs.rescue@gmail.com***ARTIC--REGAL--LOVING-- SMART--GORGEOUS"***ARTIC'S STORY---ARTIC IS A 2 1/2 YEAR OLD, 75 LB., BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL, PUREBRED WHITE GERMAN SHEPHERD. WE RECEIVED AN URGENT CALL FROM THE SHELTER DIRECTOR WHO WORKED IN ONE OF THE HIGHEST KILL SHELTERS IN THE SOUTH LETTING US KNOW THAT ARTIC HAS JUST BEEN SURRENDERED BY HIS FAMILY TO HER SHELTER. THE FAMILY WAS MOVING AND WHERE THEY WERE MOVING THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE ARTIC. THE FAMILY WAS BEYOND DEVASTATED FOR ARTIC HAD BEEN A PART OF THIS FAMILY SINCE HE WAS A FLUFFY, ROLY POLY LITTLE PUPPY. "HE IS OUR BEST FRIEND AND THIS IS THE HARDEST THING WE HAVE EVER HAD TO DO. PLEASE FIND HIM A GREAT HOME WITH A FAMILY WHO WILL LOVE HIM AS MUCH AS WE DO" WAS THEIR PLEA TO THE SHELTER DIRECTOR. WHEN WE HEARD ABOUT THIS EXCEPTIONAL FELLOW AND WERE TOLD THAT HE NEEDED OUR HELP, WE COULDN'T GET TO THIS PUP FAST ENOUGH. ARTIC LEFT THE KILL SHELTER THAT DAY, EYES TWINKLING, TAIL WAGGING, HE TRULY SEEMED TO SMILE AS IF HE KNEW WE WERE THERE TO HELP!!! THE GERMAN SHEPHERD IS NOTED AS ONE OF THE MOST PICTURESQUE OF ANIMALS, A DOG OF GREAT MAJESTY, KEEN INTELLIGENCE AND KINDLY EXPRESSION. ONCE YOU SEE ARTIC HE WILL STOP YOU IN YOUR TRACKS HE IS SO GORGEOUS. THE FIRST THING YOU WILL NOTICE IS WHAT A BEAUTIFULLY BUILT GUY HE IS. HE HAS PERFECT BODY CONFIRMATION, WELL BALANCED WITH GREAT SYMMETRY. HIS CARRIAGE IS REGAL, PROUD, BODY FIRMLY KNIT WITH STRONG BONE, TOUGH SINEW, WITH CLEAN LINES. HE IS LITHE AND MUSCULAR WITHOUT BEING COURSE. HIS MUZZLE IS LONG, SQUARE, PERFECTLY CHISELED. HIS CHEST IS DEEP AND STRONG. HIS COAT IS FLAWLESS, A SPARKLING GLACIER WHITE IN FACT IT LOOKS LIKE ARTIC JUST JUMPED OUT OF A FLUFFY WHITE SNOW BANK AND AS MUCH AS THIS PUP ADORES WINTER THIS IS A STRONG POSSIBLITY. HE IS STRIKING TO LOOK AT, DECIDEDLY SHOWY. HIS EYES WILL TRULY MAKE YOU MELT. THEY ARE A WARM, DEEP CHESTNUT COLOR WITH A PROUD, BUT ALSO GENTLE, HAPPY, "LOVE ME" EXPRESSION. A TRULY BEAUTIFUL GUY BUT JUST WAIT TIL YOU SEE ARTIC MOVE, THE GERMAN SHEPHERD IN MOTION IS TRULY BEAUTIFUL TO WATCH. HE DOESN'T JUST WALK, ARTIC STRUTS, GAIT SMOOTH, WITH FRICTIONLESS MOVEMENT, HE APPEARS TO BE FLOATING ON AIR. KNOWN FOR SPEED AND ENDURANCE, A COURAGEOUS, HIGHLY INTELLIGENT DOG, A BREED WITH THE ABILITY TO CONCENTRATE ON THEIR JOB. GERMAN SHEPHERDS ARE HIGHLY VERSATILE DOGS, EAGER TO LEARN, EASY TO TRAIN, A BREED WHO CONSIDERS ANYTHING NEW THEY ARE INTRODUCED TO A CHALLENGE. A WONDERFUL FAMILY COMPANION AND A BREED WHO DELIGHTS IN PLEASING THEIR OWNER. THEY ARE ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT LIFE AND THIS IS ARTIC. THE GERMAN SHEPHERD LOVES EXERCISE DURING THE DAY AND IF YOU WANTED A GREAT WALKING OR JOGGING BUDDY ARTIC IS UP TO THE TASK. HE IS IN GREAT SHAPE , WILL MATCH YOU STEP FOR STEP AND A THREE MILE WALK OR JOG WOULD BE AS THEY SAY A WALK IN THE PARK FOR OUR STAR ATHLETE. YOU BETTER JUST ALLOW A LITTLE EXTRA TIME WHEN YOU TAKE THIS "SHOW STOPPING" PUP OUT FOR A WALK AS WE ARE SURE YOU WILL REPEATEDLY BE STOPPED BY FOLKS WANTING TO SEE ARTIC. ALSO DON'T SHOW ARTIC A BALL UNLESS YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO PLAY, ARTIC LOVES HIS BALL. HE WILL RETRIEVE UNTIL YOU OR YOUR ARM GIVES OUT. HE WILL BRING "HIS" BALL BACK TO YOU AND GIVE YOU HIS "THROW IT ONE MORE TIME" LOOK, IMPOSSIBLE TO REFUSE. NO MORE PERFECT DOG COULD HAVE BEEN CHOSEN TO ASSUME THE ROLE OF BEST FRIEND THEN ARTIC. ARTIC ALSO IS AN EXTREMELY SOCIAL GUY WHO NEVER MEETS A STRANGER. JUST CALL HIS NAME, THOSE GORGEOUS EYES WILL LIGHT UP AND HE'S OFF HEADING YOUR WAY AS FAST AS THOSE LONG, FLOWING, GRACEFUL LEGS WILL TAKE HIM. HE WILL COME AND SIT AS CLOSE TO YOU AS HE CAN GET ASKING FOR A PAT OR A RUB WHICH HE ADORES(SEE PHOTO) AS LONG AS YOU WILL PAT THIS "LOVE ME" GUY WILL STAY. THE GERMAN SHEPHERD BREED IS EXTREMELY DEVOTED TO THOSE THEY LOVE. ARTIC IS PATIENT, FRIENDLY, AND ONE OF THE HAPPIEST PUPS WE HAVE SEEN, A TRUE FAMILY FRIEND. WHEN YOU AND ARTIC HAVE SPENT THE DAY TAKING LONG WALKS, RUNNING ERRANDS, PLAYING IN HIS BACK YARD AND JUST ENJOYING EACH OTHER'S COMPANY WHEN YOU COME INSIDE BUILD A FIRE AND SETTLE IN FOR THE EVENING, IN HIS HOME ARTIC CONTINUES TO SHINE. HE IS BEAUTIFULLY BEHAVED, HOUSE TRAINED AND RESPECTFUL OF HIS SURROUNDINGS. YOU WILL FIND ARTIC SNUGGLED AS CLOSE TO YOU AS HE CAN GET OR CURLED UP BY A WARM FIRE. THE LOOK ON HIS FACE IS ONE OF CONTENTMENT AND PEACE, HE IS WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE WORLD TO HIM--"YOU" AND TO ARTIC IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THEN THIS. WE FEEL THAT AFTER SPENDING TIME WITH ARTIC THAT THE PERFECT LIFE FOR HIM WOULD BE WITH AN OWNER WHO HAS LAND IN A COUNTRY SETTING WHERE ARTIC COULD SPEND HIS DAYS FLYING THROUGH THE AIR, STRETCHING THOSE LONG LEGS, ENJOYING THE DAY JUST ENJOYING LIFE. THE POTENTIAL FOR A PUP AS SMART AS ARTIC IS HUGE. IF THE COMPANION YOU ARE HOPING TO ADD TO YOUR LIFE IS ONE THAT IS EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT, ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT EVERYDAY, A DOG WHO LIVES TO DEVOTE HIS LIFE TO THOSE HE LOVES, A PUP THAT IS LOVING, LOYAL, HAPPY AND ONE WHO LOOKS LIKE A PAINTING THEN LOOK NO FURTHER ARTIC IS YOUR PUP. ONCE THIS OUTSTANDING GUY GIVES HIS FRIENDSHIP AND LOYALTY TO HIS NEW OWNER IT IS GIVEN FOR LIFE!!!! THIS IS THE PUP OF A LIFETIME!!!!
