Story
Bodie is one seriously handsome boy.
Bodie came to us after landing at Oakland Animal Shelter with an old fracture in his front “wrist.” Thankfully, it only required a few weeks in a splint, and Bodie has since received a clean bill of health from the orthopedic vet.
Bodie is a stunning bi-color German Shepherd, and at just 10 months old, he is already tall, leggy, and clearly going to be a big guy. He has those giant satellite ears we love, made even better when he gives you one of his signature head tilts.
He is also very, very smart.
Bodie completed five weeks of board-and-train, where he learned sit, stay, down, come, place, kennel, and more. He was also conditioned to both the prong collar and e-collar. His trainer absolutely fell for him, not just because he is so smart, but because underneath all that shepherd brain is a complete lovebug.
This goober will happily climb right into your lap for affection and pets.
He is housebroken, crate trained, rides beautifully in the car, and already has a really solid training foundation.
Now, Bodie is still a German Shepherd adolescent, which means he occasionally has opinions about what everyone should be doing. Usually, his opinion happens to be whatever Bodie wants to do. An adopter who understands consistency and reinforcement will be important, but he is very easy to handle once reminded that he is, in fact, not management.
Bodie is very dog friendly and could happily live with another playful dog who enjoys a good romp. He could also thrive as an only dog where he gets to soak up all the attention himself. He has not been tested with cats.
He is good with children, but Bodie is still a kid himself. A home with older, dog-savvy children would be the best fit while he continues to mature and learn his boundaries.
More than anything, Bodie deserves his home now. A place where he can bond deeply with his people, steal their snuggles, pile into the car, and spend the weekends adventuring together.
If you’re reading this thinking, I think that might be my dog, we’d love to talk.
