Description

Handsome Sheppy was picked up as a stray and brought to a local shelter where he waited patiently for his family to come and claim him. Although he waited, no one came forward for Sheppy. Shelter staff were surprised as this social guy was clearly comfortable with people and did well around other dogs. Recognizing that Sheppy deserved a family that would love him for a lifetime, he was placed on the adoption floor and started looking for a match but with so many dogs looking for homes, he didn't find his match. Recognizing that shepherds are often more successful when adopted out through a breed specific rescue, Sheppy was transferred to the MAGSR family. We are excited to be able to help Sheppy move forward and find the perfect forever family.

Sheppy is a friendly and playful guy. He is a big fan of plushy toys and hopes that his forever family has plenty of them in the household. Sheppy has done a nice job in a large shelter and seems comfortable with other dogs. However, as is true of many shepherds, Sheppy has high-drive. He is looking for a household without cats or other small animals. Although clearly socialized with people, Sheppy did not receive the training needed to meet with success. He will need to learn leash manners and the importance of keeping his paws on the ground. Fortunately, our team has already begun working with Sheppy so that he better understands the ins and outs of becoming a good canine citizen. Training is essential for Sheppy's success. Training will not only help Sheppy develop a strong, healthy bond with his forever family, but it will also help him develop the skills needed to become a stable and confident canine citizen. Sheppy is looking for a forever family that will provide him with routine, structure, patience, and leadership. This set-up is crucial for success with all shepherds. If you are looking for an active, playful, and intelligent guy, look no further than Sheppy!

Sheppy is a GREAT dog!  He is very smart, engaged, happy and eager to please.  He knows lots of commands and really enjoyed the agility work in the indoor play-yard today. He loves to play ball and it was a really good training tool for him.  He is gentle with treats and you can’t help smiling when you are playing with him.  He is an absolute DELIGHT and will just be an amazing addition to any family!

Sheppy is a big sweet boy!  He continues to learn his commands and knows sit, down, and "no".  Most importantly, he is completely housebroken and he understands kennel and is crate trained - though he does have some separation anxiety.  He is good with other dogs, people and children.  He walks well on a leash and loves walks with our 5 year-old GSD Yuki.  Sheppy does not quite realize how big he is and will try to sit in your lap, where he loves to give kisses to his people.  He is a high energy dog and will benefit from an owner/family who enjoys being active.  He is food motivated and responds well to correction and consequently he takes to training well.
