Story
Meet Champ, a playful and intelligent 5 year old German Shepherd, who’s eager to find his forever home. Champ may not be the best at walking through the kennel, but he’s perfectly fine with being leashed up. Once outside, he instantly potties and enjoys his time in the yard. It might take him a little while to warm up, but once he does, he’s a bundle of joy. Champ loves all toys, and he especially enjoys playing fetch with a frisbee. He even brings it back!Champ knows several commands including sit, down, paw, drop it, come, high five, stay, and heel. He’s a quick learner and loves to show off his skills. He’s comfortable being petted even with a toy in his mouth, showing his gentle nature.Champ is currently in foster care with a family experienced with German Shepherds, who are working with him on his reactivity. He has shown some frustration around other dogs, likely due to a lack of socialization, but there’s no hackling or aggressive lunging—just talking and barking. Through the kennel panel, he’s been exposed to Yorkies and German Shepherds, and his reaction is the same with both: a lot of vocalizing no aggression.Despite his reactivity between kennel fences, Champ walks back to his kennel with ease, showing no reactivity. His foster family says he’s doing great and is a wonderful dog. He’s ready to find a loving home where he can continue to thrive. If you’re looking for a smart, playful, and loving companion, Champ is the perfect match for you. Come meet him and see how much joy he can bring into your life.
