Hello! My name is Toby. My foster mom estimates me to be about a year old but secretly suspects I may be a little younger. You see, I’m really GROWING! Right now I’m tall and skinny but I’ll be a big boy once I fill out a little. I’m a medium-energy Shepherd; I’d love to go walking or jogging with you or play a game of fetch in the yard but once I get my exercise I’m happy to lay in the house. I have to say soft beds and air conditioning are two of my favorite things. I’m housebroken and I know sit, lay down and shake. I’m a happy friendly boy but I do give a good bark when strangers come around the house. I’m good with kids and other dogs but haven’t met any cats yet. I’m already neutered, heart worm-free, and up to date on my shots. Fill out an application if you’d like to meet me!
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.
