Honor has been adopted! 12-20-2014

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

Honor was rescued from a high kill shelter that misunderstood the intelligence of German Shepherds. He knew he was in a terrible place and couldn't wait to get out of there.

The moment he was free, he was just fine. He does fabulous in the car, very loving, does ok walking on a leash, but still learning. Honor would do really well with someone that is very active and can include him on fun outings like hiking, running or long walks in the park!

While Honor is a great dog, he is relatively unsocialized with other dogs, although he is improving all the time. He didn't know how to play or read other dog body language when he went into a foster home. He is learning but still doesn't quite "get it". He is with a large pack of dogs, including a 15 lb terrier that occasionally visits.

Honor's best home will be one where the humans have solid experience with reading dog body language in order to help Honor continue with his improving manners. He would do best in a home with older children.

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.
