German Shepherd dogs, as well as the other herding breeds that we have in rescue, are highly active, energetic, working breeds. They require considerable vetting, exercise, socialization, training, leadership and mental stimuli in order to be well-adjusted, well-balanced, and well-mannered dogs. Even if you exercise and play with your dog daily in your fenced yard, you MUST still take your dog out on daily walks and outings in order to work on his/her leash skills, manners, and social skills.These breeds make great additions to active families who will pamper them, but who will also work with them, as they are smart dogs who need leadership, structure, plenty of activity and mental stimulation.
If you are new to German Shepherds (and other herding breeds), please research the breed to make sure this is the dog for you. We ask that you consider the time and financial commitment that your German Shepherd (or other herding breed) dog will require before applying for one. Please review the section on our website (www.heartlandgsrescue.org) "Is a HUGS Dog Right for You?" for additional information.
About Beau
Status: Adopted!
Adoption Fee: $250
Species: Dog
General Color: Tan
Current Age: 11 Years 8 Months (best estimate)
Location: Omaha, NE
Beau is a 3yr old Beagle mix who is house-trained, and very sweet and loving. Beau's family could no longer keep him and he sort of fell into one of our volunteers' lap. He is a super charming, well-mannered gorgeous boy, and he sort of talked us into making him an honorary Shepherd!
Beau is great with people including children and other pets. He loves being outside with his humans, and he is an all-around great boy. Although Beau loves the outdoors, like many of us, he suffers from seasonal allergies, but this is well-managed with over-the-counter anti-histamines as needed.
Beau is very calm and relaxed most of the time, although he does experience anxiety when left completely alone. Because of that, he would do better with an adopter who is home a lot, and with a dog buddy.
Beau is a super sweet, friendly, well-adjusted boy who will delight the very lucky pet parent who adopts him.
