ADOPTED ON AD 06-16-23: Our German shepherd rescue is proud to post for adoption an 18-month-old knockout man child, “the Zack”! This guy has it all strength, agility, intelligence, loving demeanor, high desire to train and I did say strong, right? Zack, when grown, will be well north of 100 pounds, have a gorgeous sable coat, have perfect symmetry, have a perfect gait and will process a tremendous presence. Zack was rescued from a situation that was quite unfortunate, his previous owners had no understanding the breed, had never possessed the breed, knew nothing about training and guess what, and he ran all over them. In his case it was definitely an owner problem and not a dog problem.

This “monster of a dog” has turned out to be more mamma dog in nature, all he wanted was where the boundaries were. As owner of this rescue and trainer of Zack, I can say with all confidence that he has very few limits, is tremendously intelligent, is highly focused, bonds very strongly and excels in a climate mutual respect. We have found this young giant of a dog to be very loving, open to people, insightful, playful and a joy to be around.

Like all top-notch German shepherds, Zack has very conscious of all things surrounding “his” people, his protective instinct is very high but equally in control. As you might expect our boy knocked the socks off all of our socialization and training programs, affirming his great desire to train, his ability assess a wide range of inputs, his natural human drive and his strong command of social order. Zack is not a dog for anyone that does not have a solid German shepherd background, if you do not lead, he will. Again, as Zack’s trainer, this guy’s ability is almost limitless, given the right environment, your personal time, love and commitment. I am proud to have been able to be a part of Zack’s life, he is simply amazing!
