Meet new guy Parker, a big sweet love bug. He loves to snuggle, put his head in your lap, and roll over for belly rubs. Parker is also a leaner, and will wear you out petting him. Walks are one of his favorite past times, and he does very well. He is crate trained and will go in for his treats, but loves to make a game out of it. We are working on basic commands, and he is a smart boy! Because of his size, and high small prey drive, we would prefer that he go to a home without small children, NO cats or small dogs, and an experienced owner. He is a great dog, and a bit of a big goof ball at times. He gets along with other large dogs but would probably be fine as an only dog. Sadly, he is heartworm positive, but we are doing the slow kill method on him which we have had great success with in the past.
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.
