Cal

Adopted!

Cal is a handsome, good-natured 5 year-old, approximately 75 lb., neutered, male, white German Shepherd. He was found in Calvert County, MD, without a collar or tags. He has fully recovered from heartworm disease and is enjoying life as a much loved foster dog in downtown DC with his housemate Angel. Cal is a very sweet, loving, playful dog who is extremely happy to be living in a safe environment where he is valued and cared for. He returns the love 1000-fold every day and is definitely “all heart”. He is a playful, almost puppy-like dog with a great appetite for life (as well as food and treats). He is extremely devoted to his human and while plays well with most other dogs, he has a tendency towards aggressiveness on the leash however. I have no doubt that after a short period of socialization with other dogs on leashes, he would be fine. I think that he is really more eager to play than to be aggressive. He and his foster sister get along famously. Cal is wonderful and very gentle with children. He would not be immediately good with cats as they seem to pique his prey instinct. Cal is house-trained and has outstanding “house manners”. He does not appreciate being crated and there is no-reason that he needs to be crated. While he knows some basic commands, he could use a bit more training. He is a very active dog who loves to play and explore the wonders of urban life. He would also thrive in a suburban or country environment. He wants everyone he meets to be his friend and is truly deserving of a loving forever home. Please find room in your heart and in your home for this amazing boy. GRDC VGSR Tag #1161 Adopted: 01/12/06.
