Well, I was contacted by AGSDR and I just agreed to step up and save this guy. It was his last day.
They think he is 1.5 years old...fence jumper (owner had him in a chain link yard) and apparently he has been escaping on a regular basis for the past 6 months. Not aggressive- just shy and scared at the shelter where he has been for sometime. Too scared to be put out for adoption, but a lady that works there has been working hard to get him saved. They call him "Leo" at the shelter. I feel like I'll have this guy a while before he is ready for his forever home, but I'm ready for the challenge.
Congratulations! I have my first foster as well. It can be challenging but then you look in their eyes and know you have saved them literally from death and realize you will get through whatever comes.

I've had a problem where I can't get my 1 and half year old, female GSD to relieve herself outside with ample time. She usually will go to the restroom sooner than later outside but sometimes she seems to hold it in. My past dogs have all been male and you could take them out and tell them to...
I am adding a second dog (female puppy, 8 weeks) and anxious my male (3 year old, neutered) will not take to her as he is used to being the only dog. In the past he has always shown interest and been sweet to puppies, but I can't help but worry he will be jealous? I am hoping his instincts will...
My girl is intact and almost 7 months old. Every time I take her anywhere where she spots other dogs, she starts barking loudly. She never used to do that before. During her obedience classes, she would only get anxiety and bark at other dogs who were whining or barking, otherwise she was quiet...
Our Karma is amazing! She learns so quickly, is so friendly, and so loving towards our little girls. She isn't 100% GSD (we knew it when we got her), but she is actually a 50/50 mix of GSD and Dutch Shepard.
We have noticed a couple different traits with Karma over the last couple weeks. My...
