My story

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

Where are all our BIG BOY / GERMAN SHEPHERD FANS!!! Meet KY! Our handsome German Shepherd at 98 pounds and his adorable floppy ear, we are all falling in love with him! Our 6 yr old boy arrived as a stray and we can't believe no one claimed him. He knows a bunch of commands, such as "sit, stay, down, paw". Ky needs to gain some confidence, as he is very weary of new situations and takes a bit to trust anyone. He is best suited for an adult-only home with adopters familiar with his breed. We know how special Ky is, and we know he is going to shine once he is adopted into the correct home! While he has been here, he hasn't shown much interest in toys, we don't even know if he ever had toys of his own. Its a sad fact! But he is starting to love kong toys and running in the play yard!
