Story
The first years of my life were pretty horrific, let’s just leave it at that. Then everything changed once I got to Save-A-Pet. I spent a long time in a foster home and they provided a lot of information. I am smart (sit, stay…and fetch). I love playing fetch with tennis balls because this means that there is a person with me. I’m always “game” to have fun…no pun intended, ha ha! I can of course get protective, after all German Shepherds watch out for their families. I’d love to be able to keep someone’s company during the day. Being by myself is too lonely after all I’ve been through. My foster home said that I listen well and that I am an active, loving and intelligent dog. I can’t wait to meet you! Oh and don’t I have the best ears?!
