My story

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

 **WAIVED ADOPTION FEE! JOHN JOHN is waiting patiently for months and months, to be someone’s forever companion .This stunning German Shepherd Dog  was found as a stray and brought into the @nycacc where we rushed to get him out of the shelter. Now he has spent months in a foster home — patiently waiting to find a forever family of his own. John John is a velcro, loving, gentle and affectionate dog. He enjoys playing tug of war, fetch, loves his crate, is housebroken and is an excellent cuddler. He loves to act like a lap dog even though he’s 75 pounds. He is so loyal, bonds to people like glue and will go to the end of the world and back for his humans — his only vice is that he does not get along with other dogs. He is currently fostered in Connecticut, and loves having so much space to explore — he would absolutely thrive in any suburban environment and he is EXCELLENT WITH CHILDREN, making lots of friends with neighbors including a two year girl he’s extra gentle with! John John is about 8 years old. He is neutered and completed a dental in our care. He will fit perfectly into any home as long as there are no other dogs or cats in the household, and he would love a home that will take him on long walks around the neighborhood and spend ample time cuddling inside. 



His foster mom writes “John John is still as sweet as ever and a giant puppy.  He still loves attention and very vocal about it.  When he's happy or content, he'll let you know by making all sorts of noises almost akin to purring.  He loves being close to people and loves being physically touched, getting pets, doggy massages and belly rubs.  He especially loves being brushed and laying on his side and being pampered.  “ Apply to adopt John John at rescuecity.nyc/adopt. His adoption radius is beyond our usual NYC and surrounding states, but his potential adopters must come to New York for a meet and greet greet. 



We just know the perfect home is out there waiting for him too. — Not looking to adopt at this time? Please help us SHARE John John to help find his forever family!
