River

River is a 1-2 year-old gorgeous male GSD. He has a light Sable coat, that is soft as rabbit's fur. He is a medium size boy at around 70 pounds, but he is a little on the thin side and could definitely use a few pounds. He was an unclaimed stray out of a Sacramento area shelter so nothing is known if his background. He is getting along well with the other large dogs in his foster home. He likes to rough and tumble with the other young dogs in the home. He seems to know a few basic commands. He initially pulled on the leash but corrected easily.

At first River was shy and would hesitate when reached for but is quickly come out of his shell. It appears he was an outdoor only dog, so he is learning about the house. He now uses the stairs like a champ, and is quiet in his crate at night. He rides well in the car and enjoys being around his people. At first he complained about going in his outdoor kennel for the day, but seems to calm down quickly.

It is unknown how he will react to cats, small critters, or children. He most likely would do well in a home with another large dog that's will be tolerant of his play.

This is a Level 2 Dog
