Looking For Male GSD for sale or adoption

[Tim]

I hope I'm putting this in the right area.

I'm looking for a adult Male GSD. No Puppies. My fiancés dog passed away a couple of months back and her dad has been looking for s new dog. He is pretty picky so here are the traits we're looking for

1) Un-altered
-I know the benefits of spaying and neutering but this is a sticking point for him so pleae don't bother telling me again.
2) Adult 2-6 year roughly though that's negotiable
3) Good with cats and people.
-He runs a business so it is crucial that the dog is non-aggressive to people.
4) Generally good temperament in that he doesn't steal food off tables and counters. This is not super important.
5) Definitely housebroken.
6)Trained to not run when off leash is a definite plus but not totally crucial
7)Any other training like sit, stay, heel and such is also a major plus but not totally crucial either.

We're looking around the middle to western pa, Eastern Ohio, and Southern NY. If you even think you know a dog that qualifies please let me know. We will consider all dogs equally. I know we are looking for essentially the perfect dog but we are really anxiously looking. We are also willing to pay reasonable fees for the dog. Thanks so much.

You are not going to be able to find an adult dog from a rescue or shelter that is not neutered.

No shelter or rescue will let you adopt an un-altered dog.
No reputable breeder SHOULD sell you an unaltered dog unless you are ready to pay big bucks for it and have limited registration until titles are obtained for the dog.
So you are left with people getting rid of their dog or back-yard-breeders who may not have adults anyway. Good luck!

If you look thru our Rescue and Urgent sections, at the dogs, you may find something that is ideal.

There are not too many people getting rid of the perfect dog, those who train them to the level of your expectations usually neuter as well and they tend to keep the dog. Also GSDs tend to obey the person who put in the time and effort to train.
No reputable rescue will adopt out an un-altered dog and shelters require neuter post adoption in their contract.

It sounds like someone could use a reality check.

Good luck!

Have you looked on craigslist.org? That might be a good place to start, you could always place a 'looking for' ad. Good luck!

I know that it is about a one in a million shot looking for this dog. I have tried talking him into lowering his expectations, particularly on the un-altered side because of how important spaying and neutering are and how rare it is to find one that hasn't been spayed or neutered. Not to mention that dogs that are definitely un-altered are hundreds to thousands of dollars since they are pure breed GSD. To be honest it's quite frustrating talking to him about this. I thought, maybe, I might get lucky looking here. I have looked just about everywhere else that I can think of, including, yes, craigslist.

Yeah her dad definitely needs a reality check. Her and I both know that. We just haven't been able to talk any sense into him. If we could have I wouldn't be posting here and he would have a nice rescue from a shelter already that would probably be just perfect for him.

How about a local training club? Someone might know of, or have what he's looking for.

The only problem is the neutered part that's going to make it difficult to impossible to find that perfect dog. If he can get over that, which really should not be a big deal at all, he would be able to find plenty of dogs on petfinder.com.

Why can't the dog be neutered? Whats the big deal?
