Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Rico is a handsome, 2-3 year-old, black and tan, male German Shepherd. He is considered mildly "special needs" as he has an eye condition called Pannus and will require an eye ointment to be administered at least twice daily for the rest of his life. This wikipedia link will provide more information about the condition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pannus
He is crate-trained and housebroken. He is a bit nervous with new people but becomes more confident with time and trust. He does well with other dogs but hasn't been thoroughly cat-tested. He weighs 63 pounds and has a moderate energy level.
MTGSR pulled him from Metro Nashville Animal Care and Control in Nashville, TN, after being surrendered by his owner.
All dogs adopted from Middle Tennessee German Shepherd Rescue are spayed/neutered, current on all vaccinations and microchipped and our adoption fee is $250. For more information or to request an adoption application, please email us at adoption.mtgsr@gmail.com
PLEASE NOTE: Our philosophy is “Rescue locally, place locally” which means we primarily pull dogs from shelters in the Nashville area AND we prefer to place our dogs in homes within a one-hour drive of Nashville. If you are outside of the Nashville area, please consider adopting a homeless dog in your local community.
