This is Piccolo Pete.

We were able to make room for two dogs just before the 4th of July. We always try to take dogs who are already in the shelter system on the 3rd, as the 4th is the busiest intake holiday for shelters all across the USA. We offered Piccolo Pete a lift and he happily jumped into the car, calling shot gun.

Only around 2 years old, this big/tall boy is still thin, but is putting on weight and healthy as can be. He's absolutely in love with balls and would enjoy a good game of fetch for hours on end. Piccolo Pete's quite a gentleman and will politely lift his right paw as if to say, "sir, may I have the ball, please, if it's not too much trouble?"

If you're looking for a young GSD who adores his people and gets along with other dogs, this gem is going to make you happy for years to come.
