German Shepherd Dog

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Rio is a GSD that is 1 year old, we got him at 8 weeks old from a family friend who is a breeder of GSDs. We are rehoming him due to behavioral and personality changes that occurred after he starting having seizures. He was diagnosed with epilepsy in October 2025. He is on medication that he takes 2 times a day which control the seizures. After he had the first several seizures his personality changed and he is always in an excited state. We have small young children and no longer trust him around them due to more nipping than normal and he no longer respects boundaries. He has had the 7 week basic command training before his seizures, he still does recall all the commands but requires more attention that we can give now. He is incredibly smart and a would do well with some strict training. We tried more training sessions in Nov 2025 and the trainer said he is trainable but will require time. The trainer also recommended a home with no young children to give him the best chance.

Story
Meet Duke! ??A 66.5lb, 2-year-old, Shepherd mix who found himself at the shelter through no fault of his own. He’s a loyal, people-oriented pup who likes to stick close to his person and be part of whatever you’re doing. Duke has a medium to high energy level and loves to play—tug toys and chase games are some of his absolute favorites! Treats are also a big win for him, making training and bonding extra fun.Duke doesn’t love being in a crate and would do best in a home where he can have time outside of one, especially with his people nearby. According to his previous owner, he does well with children and other dogs, making him a great candidate for a family home or an active household. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, and loyal companion, Duke might just be your perfect match.We do all adoptions with approved applicants by appointment only. If you are interested in adopting, please contact us via FB Messenger or email us at jcasreception@johnsoncounty.in.gov for an application. You can also find one on our website at http://johnsoncountyanimalshelter.com/adopt/. Once an application is submitted and approved, we can set an appointment to meet the pet!
