Adopt a German Shepherd Dog (medium coat)

Not to seem boastful, but ladies, look no further, because I am the man you’ve been looking for. My name is Garth & my foster-mom tells me all the time “GARTH!! YOU’RE THE THE BEST HANDSOME MAN IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!”
I’m a 5 year old neutered male who is humble, kind, well mannered, house broken, protective, and a good listener.
Oh, and did I mention? I looooove the ladies - its not that I’m not a man’s man - I’ll hang out in the garage & talk shop when I have to - but to me, there’s nothing better than a lady friend. You see, I have this thing I do - I like to take your dirty clothes, towels, shoes, blankets, etc. and I very gently take them to my dog bed and I make a snuggle nest. I don’t chew them up. I don’t shred them. I don’t hurt them. I just want to snuggle with the perfumed things that remind me of you. ?? My foster-mom says its really heart warming to come home from work & see how much I missed her by the things she finds in my bed.
Some other facts about me, I’m good with school-age kids; I currently live with 9yo, 7yo, & 4yo. I don’t bark unless another dog or someone concerning comes into our yard. I’m very much curious about & want to chase the neighborhood cats - but foster-mom won’t let me.
I know sit, lay down, stay, come, no - but my favorite is “good boy Garth” where I get a treat and I wag my tail while foster-mom rubs my chin. Oh man, I love chin rubs.
I won’t get on any furniture unless invited up, and even then its unlikely for me to stay there very long. I really do prefer my dog-bed or a blanket on the floor or a shady spot in the sunroom. I’ll go into a crate but please don’t shut the crate door. For some reason that really freaks me out.
As far as dog friends, I currently live with Mulan and Otis. They’re ok, and I entertain their shenanigans, but I would prefer to be an only dog. If you do have other dogs it would be best if they’re non-dominant, non-territorial & smaller than me. I will tolerate other dogs challenging my dominance but only to a point; I have boundaries and I’m pretty firm about those.
I am not extremely active. I like to snuggle on my dog-bed. I like to take walks. I like to play tug-of-war. I like to follow you around the house. I like to sniff around the backyard. That’s about it. I’m a low maintenance kind of guy.
So what do you say? Do you need a handsome man in your life? Do you want to snuggle? Let’s give it a try. Take me on a first date & I promise to love you forever. Please contact your coordinator or apply to adopt me. You must be in NC, VA, or MD.
