ADOPTED ON 11-05-16 - Ahhhhh, Mr. Lobo, the true definition of a love sponge! This young man (3 years old) is a big (90-100 pounds), beautiful (thick sable coat), happy, bundle of "good ole boy", German shepherd. Lobo, to my knowledge has never met a stranger, man or beast but make no mistake, this bundle of love has a solid but in control protective instinct! To say that our boy is "happy go lucky" is a gross understatement, his favorite things in life are laying in the pool, laying on his back in the sun, playing ball and snoozing at your feet. If Lobo cannot get you to laugh you really should see a doctor because I think you are dead!
FLOWING SABLE COAT***NEUTERED***FULLY VETTED***GREAT WITH PEOPLE***GREAT WITH KIDS***GREAT WITH OTHER DOGS***LEASH, HOUSE AND BASIC COMMAND TRAINED
This boy performed well in all of his socialization and training modules but I must admit that he performed at his own pace. Lobo did reveal a great sense of humor, a very high intellect, great social skills and a strong desire to please. Our boy is great with all things human (including kids) and is very good with other dogs in all situations. The loving warmth of this gentle giant is amazing, always accommodating, always happy and always wanting his human.
This young man is comfortable in any situation; crowds, groups, one on one, noisy, other dogs, children, it does not matter he will be at your side and comfortable. Obviously Thor performed extremely well during all of our socialization and training programs, reflecting strong capabilities social attitude, trainability and overall intelligence. As stated earlier, our boy gets along extremely well with other dogs, showing compatibility, deference, patience and social competence. If you are looking for that once in a life time "buddy" then you should run to your nearest computer and apply for the awesome "Thor"!

About Our Rescue
These dogs deserve all of our attention, and in Rescue Dog Village, we are committed to our adopters and our dogs equally. We offer full disclosure and hope to make the best matches possible. Please know our adoption fees never cover our expenses. We rely on the generosity of our adopters and supporters to help us help the dogs.
Our rescue is ONLY in the business of offering FULL DISCLOSURE to adopters, and expects and hopes to engage your questions and concerns fully. We owe it to the dogs we rescue and all the wonderful families/adopters who might consider welcoming our charges into their hearts and home. Our dogs are waiting for that ideal forever home where they will be cherished as deserving family members. It's sad these second chances are even necessary for these dogs, but we are committed to them and will devote the time and energy to their rehoming, and not just MOVE them to save more dogs. We diligently and responsibly seek good matches as we don't want to re-home the dog again. These animals have already endured more than they should have, and through no fault of their own. It behooves us to be honest and forthright, and we appreciate the same in return from applicants. It's that winning combination of reciprocal trust and respect that allows for successful placements to be made. Happy adopters translate to happy dogs, and that's our goal!
Our rescue volunteers will be more than honored to be in touch with you directly and promptly, after receiving your application and conducting a mandatory a veterinarian check. If you have never owned a dog before, please submit your application regardless, and we will be in touch with you as soon as possible. TAKE NOTE YOU SHOULD CHECK YOUR SPAM AS SOME RESPONSES FROM US WIND UP THERE WE'VE DISCOVERED. Also, take care to contact your veterinarian to let them know a member of rescue will be inquiring about your pet history!
Thank you for respecting that we all donate our time to saving these animals, and understand we value your philanthropic and compassionate desire to help be part of the rescue team. That said, you'll understand why we are committed to the well-being of our charges and consider this veterinarian check mandatory. If you are a first-time dog owner, we will work with you every step of the way! ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION ARE AS MUCH A PART OF RESPONSIBLE RESCUE AS ADOPTION! And it takes a RESCUE VILLAGE to help the most dogs possible in a thorough manner to ensure success on all fronts, and then some! It is an awful feeling to fail a dog, and we can't continue rescue if we don't do everything we can to ensure good matches for the dogs and tender families who might adopt them. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.
Although we are an extremely small rescue group, we understand and respect your family's eagerness to be in touch and learn as much as you can about the dogs you are considering adopting. Our very experienced and devoted trainer will be happy to share all aspects of OUR RESCUE DOGS to determine compatibility once you've submitted your application, and another of our volunteers will explain the whole process of our rescue and answer any questions you might have as well
