Description:
9/25/2014:  Darius was returned to PRBJ the owner said Darius has to much energy for her.  He is housetrained, likes other dogs, but does not care for cats or squirrels.  He does jump on people out of excitement, he likes walks/runs and walks great on a leash.  He is up to date and ready to get adopted or go into foster.  Darius loves to run and would make a great companion to accompany you on runs or longs walks.

Darius is a stray that was found by a local man. Darius didn't like the man's dog, so we are trying to find Darius a new home. Darius is very energetic and friendly with people. He is good with the other dogs in his playgroup at the shelter and really enjoys playing. He walks well on the leash.

Update:

***According to dogbreedinfo.com, in April 1899, Capt. Max von Stephanitz registered a dog named Horan as the first Deutsche Schäferhunde, which means German Shepherd Dog in English. Known for their tremendous loyalty and courage, they are calmly confident, but not hostile. This breed needs his people and should not be left isolated for long periods of time. They only bark when it is necessary. Serious and almost human in his intelligence, they have a high learning ability. The breed is so intelligent and learns so readily that it has been used as a sheepdog, guard dog, in police work, as a guide for the blind, in search and rescue service, and in the military. The German Shepherd also excels in many other dog activities including schutzhund, tracking, obedience, agility, flyball, and ring sport. His fine nose can sniff out drugs and intruders, and can alert handlers to the presence of underground mines in time to avoid detonation, or gas leaks in a pipes buried 15 feet underground. A quick daily brushing is best unless hair in the house is not a problem. They should be bathed rarely, only once or twice a year to avoid skin oil depletion. Shepherds have a life expectancy around 13 years.
