Looking for a family dog? Jack loves children and will herd them to keep them safe and close by. He loves to go for walks, hikes and to play.  Jack is an energetic boy  that is affectionate, sweet, handsome and has good house manners. He has a great temperament and is very easy going with other dogs. He does like to play with/chase cats, so if in a house with cats would need training to learn boundaries.  Jack gets along very well with his two furry foster siblings (also GSDs) and will whine in excitement when seeing another dog that he wants to meet. He did manage to make it over a 6-ft privacy fence to meet a neighbor dog (great recall so came back immediately) and has not repeated the maneuver as he knows foster mom did not approve.

Jack is crate trained but is given free reign by his foster overnight and during the day while people are in the house.  He does want to be with his person and likes to watch through the windows when his person is outside. He loves car rides, hikes, walks, tummy rubs, treats and snuggles and will offer up kisses. He barks when people approach and occasionally at delivery trucks parking outside and is otherwise relatively quiet...but his bark is loud.  

He was not well cared for in his original home and ended up at the shelter with his brother Blue. He was neutered 5/21, and at that time also had a cracked lower canine removed and a mass (benign) removed. He is doing great and is energetic and playful. He would love to have his own human(s) and/or dogs to follow around. He is healthy and looking forward to meeting his new family.
