Coastal German Shepherd Rescue

Steiner has been adopted! 01-26-2015

Male German Shepherd Dog about 1-2 years old. Good with kids. Gets along with other dogs.

Steiner is an extremely loving dog. Not a moment goes by without him putting his paw on your lap for attention or falling asleep on your feet and he will even leans against your leg if you’re standing. Steiner absolutely LOVES being petted. He really is a just a big teddy bear at home.

Steiner has some leash manners issues when unknown dogs are around, which are currently being worked out. He just gets excited and wants to meet and get to know every dog within sight! Before going into the dog park, he needs to stand to the side until the excitement level lowers and then he is fine. He backs away from every potential confrontation once in, gets along with the other dogs, and then just loves to run nonstop.

He currently lives with two other dogs at his foster home and they get along fantastically well. He and the other GSD love to chase each other around the house and play tug-o-war. He does have some sort of digestive issue and has been eating special kibble, which can be bought anywhere with a standing veterinarian prescription. Without it he has diarrhea and will lose weight over a period of time, but we are hopeful that this can be corrected, as well.

Steiner is potty trained and learned the basic commands quite easily.

The minimum adoption donation for adults is $375 and the adoption donation for puppies is $500. This amount only partially covers the cost of veterinary care, boarding fees, and other miscellaneous expenses involved in the temporary care and adoption of our dogs and is tax deductible when permitted by law. The adoption donation provides that all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis ( i.e., puppies who will need to be altered by 6 mos old). Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.
