My story

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

Hi there! My name is Ralph. I ended up here from a nearby town on 5/18. I hear the folks here say I'm handsome, goofy, fun and loving--all wrapped into one great dog! Who doesn't like to hear compliments like that? I hope that my awesomeness will get me adopted soon! Since I'm young and energetic, I'm hoping for a fenced yard, a secure farm home OR people who will take me on walks. (I don't want to live on a tie-out; I've heard about that life and want no part of it!) Since I'm only about a year old, I am looking forward to long life with love and manners so I will be my very best self! I'm a smart dog, so it won't take me long to learn things...and I really want to please humans! Recently, I went to what is called a Spring Festival. I was the BEST dog there! I had so much fun playing with the other dogs and seeing all the people! I was god with all the littles---even toddlers!
My hobbies are running in the play yard, learning to sit, and getting petted. Getting scratched on my back and ears are the BEST! And, I take treats very gently and walk easy on a leash too! My dream family will be one with adults and kids who will spend time with me...playing, teaching me stuff and loving on me. I get along with other dogs, and love to play with them. And I don't bother the cats here at the shelter, but...I might chase one if it started running. (I know that some of us german shepherds are known to do that, unless we are trained otherwise.)
If you are looking for an all-around great young boy who is smart, playful AND cuddly, I'm your guy! 💚
