My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ricco is a handsome black and red German Shepherd Dog. He is approximately 5 years old and is a big boy weighing in at over 95 lbs.
Ricco came into our rescue after being found as a stray living on the streets starving to death and covered in flea dermatitis and skin infections. When he first came in he weighed only 52 lbs! Well, after a few months of good food and TLC and Ricco is ready to find his new forever home.

Ricco does well with female dogs, he is very picky about the male dogs he tolerates. Ricco is outgoing and friendly and loyal with his family. He is typically hesitant of strangers, though with patience and treats he comes around quickly.

Ricco has a medium prey drive so he will need a home with no cats, no dogs under 30 lbs and no male dogs would be best.

Adoption fee is $300.00; this includes spay/neuter, HW test, all vaccinations, microchip and microchip registration.

If you are interested in a dog in DFW German Shepherd Rescue's program, please e-mail us at adoptions@dfwgsr.com for an adoption application.
