My name is Gibbs 0465!

Gibbs is a 10-month-old German Shepherd who was rescued from a backyard breeder in Virginia. He is small for a GSD his age at around 50lbs, likely due to malnourishment and being fed cat food his whole life. 

He is as sweet as can be and loves everyone he meets. Gibbs is timid at first in new places, but quickly warms up. In his foster home, he has done wonderfully with sleeping in his crate and going potty outside. He even stood still for a bath! Gibbs is also a very good house guest and hasn’t tried to chew anything up despite his young age. 

Gibbs was very under-socialized and had never even been to a vet before. He is now fully vetted, neutered, and all of his bloodwork was negative! He is nervous when other dogs engage with him, but does fine in a neutral setting. We suspect this is from nerves and it is improving by the day! He is playful and engaging with the active indoor cats, but is respectful of their boundaries and frequently caught giving them kisses. 

Gibbs is an adolescent GSD that didn’t have any training prior to being rescued, so he would do best with an experienced handler that is willing to work with him to build basic manners and obedience. He is very food driven and takes corrections nicely  

His favorite things to do are EAT and cuddle on the couch. He will make an amazing addition to a family looking for a fun dog to spoil and show him how great life can be!
