Story
Manny was born July 17, 2024. We adopted him the end of September 2024. He is a pure breed German Shepherd, current on all vaccines and currently still intact. Manny lives with 6 kids, two dogs and three cats. He believes he is a small dog I think, he was raised with two little dogs who still intimidate him even though they are a fraction of his size now. I believe he has fear aggression and lacks confidence. I am not an experienced dog trainer and with 6 kids I never will be. I cannot take him anywhere without a muzzle and we cannot have anyone to our home without locking him up. This brakes my heart. He is so kind, and goofy with us, but the minute he sees a stranger instant fear, retreat but also real aggression. He needs someone who can help him build confidence, teach him to not be afraid, that people just want to play with him. He is incredibly smart and still young so there is hope! If I had the time and the money I would do it, I just do not. Someone please help Manny.

Charli 9 mos ,german shepherd mix, very puppy. She is very sweet & loveable. She will cuddle with you & sleep with you to keep you warm. Very active , so a home with kids and a active life style would be great. She knows commands & is housebroke. I got her as a rehome . I thought I would be able to keep up with her & have time. But that didnt work out for us. So if you looking for a loving dog she might just be the one. 50.00 rehoming fee.
