Why I need a new home

Busy schedule

My story

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


Gustav is a 10y old, purebred, Black GSD. He was purchased from a breeder in NC in 2015 at 4months of age. I have been the only primary owner, and he has lived with my wife and 7yr old daughter at the time. He has had more than a hand full of professional training sessions, is house/crate trained, adheres to several basic voice commands and has a few and signals down but is a bit rusty. Recall with a little prompting would easily rectify that. Gustav is incredibly warm, friendly, curious and loyal. He has great energy still for a 10 year old, and loves long walks and fetching! I am newly divorced, a single dad in graduate school and work as an ICU nurse for Sutter Health in Berkeley, CA. I'm currently too busy with hospital and clinical requirements for grad-school and have moved into a small apartment. Gustav is unhappy and needs room and attention I cannot provide at the stage of my life. I'm simply looking for someone with a loving home and heart with time and attention for him!
