My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Nero here
My foster parents have been great and here is what the have to say about me:
Nero is an affectionate, sweet, calm black german shepherd. He is friendly with every person he meets. He went out to lunch, and everyone he interacted with saw how loving and special he is. Nero is housetrained and crate trained and sleeps quietly all night in his crate. Nero has a gentle mouth and takes his medications easily. He knows sit, down, shake and comes when called. Nero is food motivated, quick learner, and eager to please. He would love to learn some new tricks to show off how smart he is. Nero likes the water, and was very good during his bath. Nero loves being with his people, playing ball, and affection. Nero thanks you with his loving eyes. He is very calm and gentle. When playtime is over, he settles down nicely. He has been respectful of the boundaries we have set in our house. He will make a loving addition to a very lucky family.
