Michael
Animal Interaction Observations
All interaction between animals should be supervised at all times.
Child Interaction Observations
All interaction between animals and children should be supervised at all times.
Michael is a young adult male German Shepherd. He was found on the street in the south DFW Texas area. He was in very bad shape and extremely emaciated, with his head and neck extremely swollen. A good samaritan found him literally at Death's door and took him to a rescue friendly local vet. The staff immediately proceeded to work day and night to save his life. After a week of hospital care, he was placed in his current foster home weighing only 33 lbs at the time. He is now fully recovered and is at a healthy 60 lbs and will be neutered soon.
Michael is a beautiful black/tan boy with a luxurious coat. He is kennel trained and food motivated. He has been socialized with multiple other shepherds his size, both male and females. His play style is very active and energetic. He has shown no dog aggression. We feel he would thrive with an active family with another dog.

NOTE: In our experience many German Shepherd Dogs are very good with kids. In our bios, we may provide information on our experience with a particular dog and children. However AGSDR discourages ALL unsupervised animal/child interaction. Children should be supervised at all times when they interact with ANY animal, whether it is a horse, dog, cat, bunny, lizard, or any other species. Even loving household pets can have a grumpy day, or otherwise get tired of a child's attention, so proper supervision is essential for the well being of any child and any pet.
The entire biography of this dog is based solely upon our volunteers' experiences with the dog. The dog's age and weight are estimates, and statements about the health, temperament, training, and ability to get along with other animals, children, cats and other dogs, are estimated solely based on our volunteer's experiences with this dog. Your experiences with this dog may be quite different than those of our volunteers.
