7.5 month old purebred male, free

[S19977]

Getting a divorce and cannot keep him. He is all up to date on his shots and has gone through 6 weeks of obedience training. I have his pedigree and health records on hand. He is high energy and will require daily exercise. He has a very nice temperament and was raised around children. He is ok with other dogs, but I am not sure with cats yet. He goes nuts when he sees my cats, but it just looks like he wants to play.

I am giving away two 42" crates too. I am located in Delaware.

It would be best if you worked with a GSD rescue to help you place your pup. If you can foster your pup, until he is adopted, most rescues would courtesy post for you. They will help you to screen applicants to make sure your boy gets the best possible home. Perhaps someone here knows of rescues near you.

Best of luck to you.

So sorry that you have to part with your boy, but use caution when giving him over to anyone. Any adopters need to be checked out, so that you can ensure your boy is going to a forever and loving home. Good luck to you.

I second this advice - many dogs have ended up in horrible situations because they were given away for free and without the proper precautions. You should ask for a rehoming fee and either you or a friend you trust should do a physical home check w/references before handing your boy over. That's why a reputable rescue (you can Google the names, Mid Atlantic GSD is one in your general area) should be your first call - they will do all the work for you. I am sorry for your situation, it must be very stressful for you - but please don't let desperation get in the way of good judgement when it comes to placing your boy - and if he isn't neutered he should be before going to his new home, so that he doesn't end up as a breeder. I wish you all the best, I hope things get better for you real soon.

When you purchased your puppy you probably signed a puppy warranty/agreement. The reason we go to good responsible breeders is that includes the part that our BREEDER will always take the puppy back to find a wonderful home for the puppy/dog.

Contact your breeder and get their help. And also great to contact rescues and work with them to get qualified adopters.

Excellant advice. I would def check with the breeder first.

You know, I was curious about this pup (not looking to adopt, but I always try to keep my ears open for others who may be looking) so I wanted to try to find a photo of him or info about his breeder for some background on the puppy, and I came across this post that you posted well over a month ago:
http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/2127980-post6.html

In it, you state you are a single father. In fact, all of your threads started on this forum are with problems with him (not a single "happy" post or picture post) so IMHO you need to just be honest with why you are getting rid of him, vs making up a story about a divorce which is clearly false. If you hope for this dog to have a chance at a successful future, you need to be straight up about the issues you are having with him. Everything you've posted about is NORMAL PUPPY BEHAVIOR and is what happens to a german shepherd when it's unsocialized, untrained, under exercised, and left to its own devices.

Wow - thanks for catching that Rerun. Usually I'm pretty good about spotting something which seems familiar, but I certainly missed this one. Not a good scenario for that pup....

I am almost certain this is a duplicate post to one a couple of days ago...
