About BARKER

***NEEDS FUREVER HOME*** Currently in Stanley 3 year old white shepherd BARKER was lucky to find an experienced foster home immediately after he was rescued from the shelter, so we have lots of information on his behaviors. We have learned that he bonds well and so sweetly with people that he will undoubtedly become the best friend that you never knew that you needed! BARKER (Brave, Affable, Reliable, Keen, Educated, Resilient) BARKER is an active and athletic dog that requires lots of exercise for his physical and mental well-being. He loves walking, hiking and fetch. BARKER also loves skiing and running with his foster family. He has been good on and off leash and has good recall. BARKER has a truly brilliant mind. He knows so many tricks and commands and is crate trained. He is so brave and can be encouraged to try new things or face things that seem spooky (I'm looking at you, slippery wood floors!). He loves making everyone proud and always tries his best. As a German Shepherd, he likes to make sure there is nothing suspicious going on. He often responds to unfamiliar noises with a short series of alarm barks that are easily calmed with the 'okay, leave it' command. BARKER is ok on car trips. He enjoys looking out the back window. On the way home from adventures, he is a sleepy boy and settles in nicely. We need to say that BARKER can be reactive to other dogs, but he has proven that he is more than capable of making dog friends. Not only has he become friends with his foster brother, he even brings his foster brother toys that he used to be defensive over. It has been so sweet to watch him get comfortable and confident. At this time, BARKER would benefit from more slow and careful socialization with other dogs. He learns quickly with consistency and positive reinforcement.
