Story
This is Killua a 2 year old purebred German shepherd dog that I purchased when she was 10 weeks old from a professional breeder in Berry, Alabama! She has been an inside companion dog since the day I got her. She is spayed and up to date on all shots. She graduated from the Alabama Canine obedience training classes when she was about 6 months old. Her temperament is very chill and loving. She is a great house dog! She has grown up with 3 cats who she loves and interacted with children and loved that. She has never bitten anyone or anything. She is a bit reactive with other dogs when on leash(just barking and putting her fur up), because of that I have never taken her to meet another dog, however I believe she would be well behaved as she is very obedient. Ideally she would go to home with no other dogs and she would be kept inside with access to a backyard! I am rehoming her simply because I am moving out of a house into an apartment and can’t find one that accepts GSD.

Story
I adopted Zane at a kill shelter, he is now 1 and his birthday is 10/18/2024. Zane needs an active home filled with tons of love! He has never showed any signs of aggression and is excellent around cats and dogs just lovesss to play!! Zane is genuinely the most well behaved and loyal dog I’ve ever met, thats why it hurts my soul to have to re-home him. I’m 19 years old working two jobs/65 hours a week to support my grandmother that has recently ran into some health issues and I just don’t have the time to give him the love and attention that he needs and deserves. I know that he will fill any home with more love and joy than you would ever expect. He is good in cars, he is an inside dog, the only thing Zane struggles with is baths. He usually does fine as long as u have treats to go along with ur love and reassurance lol. He is also very vocal like he doesn’t bark much but loves to sing and talk to u lol.
