About Richard *needs home

German Shepherd mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Richard is in dire straights and needs a foster or adopter. He has had a rough beginning and we want him to have a better future. Sadly, he spent over a year in a boarding facility. Richard is an approximately 2.5 year old German Shepherd weighing about 75 pounds. He is an intelligent, energetic boy with a playful personality and an endearing one-ear-up, one-ear-down look that reflects his goofy side.�'۬�'۬Richard is very smart and treat motivated, and he enjoys learning new things. He thrives with regular mental and physical activity and loves toys, playing ball, and enjoying structured water play like kiddie pool time and bucket baths.�'۬�'۬Richard will do best in an experienced, adult-only home with a large, secure yard/fenced. Consistent handling, clear expectations, and continued training will help him succeed. True to his breed, he has some past history of mouthiness and leash grabbing, which tends to show up when hes over-stimulated, and will benefit from guidance and appropriate outlets for his energy.�'۬�'۬Richard also has a strong aversion to hoses and should not be around when a hose is turned on. This trigger will need to be managed in his daily routine. We believe he has some Belgian Mal in him which explains his personality. If you can help Richard, please contact Shannon on 919 442 7720
