Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Von Ruger is a smart, friendly, handsome 5yo GSD. He prefers to be near us but sleeps in “his room” just fine. Fully house trained and will let us know when he wants to go outside. He seems friendly with all of the dogs at the fence. Greets them and comes right back when we call him. Loves his meal time, going on walks (although he pulls a bit but we’re working on it), and he may be slightly obsessed with his ball and playing fetch. Which is a good thing since we are limiting his treats. He knows basic commands and is already showing us he’s ready to learn more.
Age: 5 years
Breed: Pure bred German Shepherd
Gender: Male
Housetrained: yes
Up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, neutered and on Heartworm preventative.
Child friendly (grew up with 3 children under 8 yrs of age)
Dog friendly, prefers to play fetch over doggie wrestling & shenanigan's.
Current weight: 74lbs
Knows the commands, sit, down, settle, paw, come, stay and heel. He is currently in foster home and learning basic house manners.
Von Ruger was diagnosed with EPI two years ago and will need enzyme's in his food prior to eating for the remainder of his life.
EPI dogs with proper food management will live normal, happy lives.
Von is an amazing companion, he is attentive, will keep all your secrets, loves his people and leans in for pets.
His big smile and happy go lucky romping around the yard will steal your heart every time.
