My personality

Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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

Shadow is a purebred and registered (papers have been lost) 4yr old neutered German Shepherd. He is affectionate, LOVES to play, cuddle and is a good guard dog. He has good manners and is eager to learn. He roams freely on 5 acres yet stays home. I have had him for more than a year and he left the property only twice-both times because of deer (but he came right back).
The reason I am rehoming him is because a Guide dog for the blind dog is moving into the house. Shadow does NOT get along with ANY other dogs or cats. Because of this, I would not trust him with children either. Expert training may help with this behavior, but I can not take the chance with a guide dog.
I am looking for a home that has no other pets or children. A home with room for him to roam-he can not be taken to dog parks for exercise. Preferably with an owner who has experience with dog handling. Shadow is an indoor mostly dog.
If the right home is found, I would consider removing the homing fee.
