Zanoit - German Shepherd Dog Dog for Adoption in Detroit, Michigan

Zanoit A185612
64 lb. neutered male, approx
1 year old

-This young fella is a little unsure here and needs time to relax
-Judging from the look of him, he's been on his own a while and hasn't had the best start to life. He needs a very good grooming and a whole lot of love to get him through! He did allow me to brush him some, but he needs more than just a brush!
-He craves attention and wants to be up on your lap for pets and kisses. He will jump up for hugs frequently and will need basic manners training
-Quick movements do make him a little nervous
-He like treats and takes them nicely. I got him to sit once or twice but I don't really think he understands what I'm asking
-My squeaker definitely made him nervous and he would cower and duck away. Toys in general seem to scare him.
-Walks nicely on leash without pulling but will occasionally weave in and out of your legs
-Seems non reactive to dogs nearby and may do well living with a fur sibling after slow and proper intros
