Description:
WOW! This boy is a show stopper! Say hello to King, a good looking black and silver male german shepherd, about 2-3 years old. Picked up by animal control as a stray, he was about to be put down when we stepped in and agreed to help find him a home. This guy is "one tall drink of water!!!" He is one big boy! And does he ever love to run and play. King will need a fenced yard at his new home, along with daily walks in order to make sure he gets the exercise he needs. King loves people, and will happily greet anyone willing to pay him some attention. However, because he is big and energetic, he would not be the best pet if you have smaller children. He gets along well with other dogs, but once again because of his size and energy should only be playmates for larger breeds. King's new owners will need to make sure they have the leadership skills required to handle a shepherd of his size. But, if you devote the time, attention, and training King now needs, rest assured, you will have yourself one magnificent pet!!! King is doing great. He gets along well with my other dogs, he’s good with people. He has a nice little personality. He will come up to me and rub or lean against me with a playful nature. For 1 to 2 weeks, King was on a long line whenever we went on walks. He was a bit too independent minded. He has been off leash for about three weeks now and he stays with me and the other dogs very well. I have not done any basic obedience training. All the training he has received has been through routines of the household (which is really good for him). I can tell he has received some basic training. He does sit on command. I wanted him to go into a down recently, and I can see that he has been introduced to the down behavior. He is VERY food motivated so training him would be a pure joy for the new owner. Please feel free to fill out an Adoption Application on our main website, www.midwestanimalrescue.org, by clicking on the Form/Applications link under Website Features. Thank You! When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care. Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters. How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet. Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks. Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance. Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
