This helps Bay Area German Shepherd Dog Rescue with pet care costs.
My name's Ramsey. I'm about a 5.5 year old, 75 lb handsome and fun loving boy. I love to play ball and will bring it back to you (mostly) and drop it and that's fine. When I want to keep it to myself I get a little stingy but a second ball solves that and I'm off again. I am definitely a ball dog. I have been hanging out with a trainer for the last 3 weeks learning my basics. It's been fun and I've learned a lot but it's time to find my new home.
Everyone says I'm the prototypical German Shepherd. I'm smart, loyal, alert, playful, friendly, affectionate and handsome - did I say handsome already? In my prior foster home I liked to lay at the top of the stairs observing my "zone of control" which was the front yard, sidewalk, street and sidewalk across the street. I let out a easy bark to alert my family when I see something or if someone comes to the door but I stop when I'm asked to. If my people tell me it's ok I'm all about making friends and will greet new people with a happy face and wagging tail. Once we're friends I don't forget and enjoy getting attention.
I have lived with dogs before but may be best as an only dog. I can get a little bossy at times with high value items. I may get a little excited when I see a new dog face while out walking but I get over it when I'm asked to be chill and I'm learning more every day. I walk well on leash, have good basics and love to go for rides. I'm a good boy in the house and don't chew stuff up and will go outside when I need to. I will follow you around (I'm a GSD after all) and will hang out where I can keep you in my sights.
I would like a home that has a little room to stretch my legs, smell the yard, maybe patrol the perimeter and just be with you. I do like to harrass the squirrels if you have some around and I'm much too interested in cats so best there aren't any in the home (Sorry, can't help myself). Don't forget, a new home will be all new to me and I will just need a little time to adjust and realize this is HOME and you are MINE. Once I get it all figured out, I will always be by your side, ready to play, ready to chill and ready to be loved. I'm not used to being around small kids and I can get a little stingy and grabby with high value treats and my ball so an adult home would be best.
One more thing, I'm not really fond of the vet. I have been muzzle trained and prefer to wear it so everyone is comfortable. I'm friendly but I need to trust before being 'examined'. If you would like to meet me, I will be waiting in Santa Rosa.
