German Shepherd Dog Dogs Available for Adoption

Schofield A182790
66 lb. neutered male, approx , approx 3 years old

-This big fella is also a big baby. He came to us very timid and nervous of everything! He has since settled in some and more of his personality is coming out!
-He walks decent on leash and only occasionally tucks his tail now
-He has started to loosen up and play with toys. He will fetch and bring them back as long as he can stay focused. Sometimes he's like a toddler and another "shiny object" catches his attention and he forgets what he was originally doing. He's comical!
-He enjoys pets and attention but doesn't seem super needy at the moment
-He gives a few kisses once comfortable
-He likes treats, might know "sit" (he managed it a couple times) and takes them gently. He doesn't seem to understand how to eat them from your hand though and did better with them from the floor.
-He needs a little patience and guidance
-Seems non reactive to dogs nearby and may do well living with a fur sibling after slow and proper intros
