German Shepherd Dog

Male, Adult
Jackson, MI
Size
(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
Details
Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
Atlas is a nine-year-old purebred GSD, we have had him since early 2017 from a family friend. My father and I lacked previous experience with training a GSD effectively, however we both wanted one. We failed to properly train and socialize him, leading to him having incidents with him biting due to separation anxiety and a lack of being neutered. He is pretty well behaved outside of the house from what I've tried, but when he is home, he is constantly on edge, especially when it comes to people talking to my father. This is made much worse due to my father being diagnosed with Dementia, due to this we must have him removed for the safety and treatment of my father.

Xena was adopted from Riverside county animal shelter in Riverside, CA in September 2016. We believe she’s about 9 years old. She’s sweet and cuddly. She loves to watch TV, lounge around, and run around in the morning and evening. She’s has always lived with at least one other dog. She’s been around babies and young kids and has always been so gentle with them. Xena has always been up to date with all vaccines, and we’ve been told she’s in great health. She has no health concerns. We’ve also been taking care of her teeth by brushing them and giving her dental chews. She’s does come with a dog bed, some dog food, treats, and her vaccines for 2026.

Story
She is the most loving and affectionate dog I have ever met. I got her when she was just 8 months old and she is going to be 4 this next October. She has been staying in her crate 6 days out of the week due to my busy work schedule and with the skin yeast infection she has I know she deserves someone better. Someone who can give her the time and care she deserves.

Story
Bruce Wayne is a 3.5-year-old male German Shepherd Husky mix, whom my wife and I have raised since he was eight weeks old. He enjoys running, playing fetch, and engaging in tug-of-war, making him an ideal candidate for a home with a fenced backyard. Bruce would thrive in an environment where he is the sole dog and there are no children, as an incident during his puppyhood has made him highly reactive to kids. Although he has never bitten anyone, he has exhibited aggressive behavior, necessitating the use of a muzzle and medication during veterinary visits. Despite these challenges, Bruce is an exceptional dog and would flourish in a military family or one with a police background. Regrettably, due to his intolerance for children, we must rehome him as we are expanding our family and are seeking to find him a new home immediately.

Good with kids, House-trained,
Story
Nando belongs to our daughter and the plan was for her to take him when she moved out & got her own place. Unfortunately due to rising housing costs, she is not able to take him. We both work very busy schedules and are not able to give him the time and care that he needs. We love him & we hate to do this but we are gone all day so we have ran out of options. He is somewhat trained. Very protective! He loves our kids (not too sure about other kids) and loves affection. Wanting to give him to someone who can love him & gives him the catr & attention like he deserves.

Story
Major is a good dog but very energetic and will be 3 years old January 8th 2026. I'm 67 years old and he has become more than I want to handle. I have not been able to afford professional training for him which may be needed depending on who adopts him. Major is a pure bread and is akc registered. I marked unknown for good with kids but he interacts with my grandchildren but I keep him behind a gate. I don't think he would intentionally hurt them but he gets so excited I'm afraid he may knock them down somehow. He's good with the dog next door that is mild mannered but was aggressive toward a dog on the other side of my yard that showed aggression at times. Adoption fee is negotiable.
