Story
Meet Picard, a brilliant and beautiful 3-year-old German Shepherd who’s looking for his forever home!This big boy has lots of personality — he’s smart, loyal, and thinks he's a tiny lap dog (spoiler: he’s not). Picard LOVES balls of all kinds and will happily spend hours chasing, chewing, or just proudly carrying one around.He thrives in an active home — hiking, running, training, or working – Picard wants to do something. He’s super intelligent and needs both physical and mental stimulation to be his happiest self. A bored Picard can be a vocal Picard, so he’d love a family who understands his drive and shepherd nature.If you're looking for a loyal companion who will keep you on your toes (and snuggle on your couch), Picard might be your guy. Did you know that when you adopt from the Maggie Society, your new family member comes with two copies of vet records. All Maggie dogs are vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention prior to adoption. Your adoption fee goes towards the vetting of another dog or puppy in need.
