All interaction between animals and children should be supervised at all times.
Jesse is an owner surrender. Due to changes in his ex-family's life, they were unable to give him the care and attention that he needed, and sought a new home for him. Jesse is a little over 3 years old, and is wonderful with people. He is like most German Shepherd dogs, very human focused, and really wants to please his people.
He is housebroken and has not had an accident inside. Jesse's interactions with other animals like cats and dogs have been very limited in his life, so we have sent him to classes at the Canine Center for Behavior to learn how to meet and greet other dogs appropriately and to learn basic commands. Jesse will continue to need reinforcement and training to keep up his socialization work. Due to his long coat and tendency to get overheated, he needs to live indoords and take frequent breaks if he is very active.
He is neutered, current on all vaccines and hw negative. He is highly intelligent and fit into his foster home very well. We have not figured out exactly what it is that make his one "lazy ear" stand up, but it does from time to time. He only wants to please his person and has so much potential that we can only imagine he will be an excellent student. We will keep posting on this handsome man and how he progresses.
NOTE: In our experience many German Shepherd Dogs are very good with kids. In our bios, we may provide information on our experience with a particular dog and children. However AGSDR discourages ALL unsupervised animal/child interaction. Children should be supervised at all times when they interact with ANY animal, whether it is a horse, dog, cat, bunny, lizard, or any other species. Even loving household pets can have a grumpy day, or otherwise get tired of a child's attention, so proper supervision is essential for the well being of any child and any pet.
The entire biography of this dog is based solely upon our volunteers' experiences with the dog. The dog's age and weight are estimates, and statements about the health, temperament, training, and ability to get along with other animals, children, cats and other dogs, are estimated solely based on our volunteer's experiences with this dog. Your experiences with this dog may be quite different than those of our volunteers.
