D4AD Update: We took Larry to Blue Jacket Park. He behaved well while we drove, but did want to climb into the front. At the park he want for a walk with a 5 month old puppy that was the same size as he was. He pulled on the leash when he was walking but when running he was great at keeping slack on the leash. Larry also was around a large group playing soccer and was very calm but was not overwhelm he also was not bothered when the ball came near him. Overall he is an affectionate dog and very active.
08/16/2015: Beautiful Larry was returned today from his owner, but, it was NO FAULT OF HIS OWN....They said he was too hyper. Well look at Larries age, he needs exercise just like a child. He is back at Pet Rescue by Judy and is waiting this time for a family that would like for him to go on walks and be loved....Please consider meeting Larry. He is so sweet.
Larry is amazing. He was a stray and is now here with PRBJ hoping to find a home of his own....Larry is heartworm positive but it is treatable with a heartworm pill everyday. We use the slow method and literature will be supplied at the time of fostering or adoption.
***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.
