Adopt a German Shepherd Dog (medium coat)

Kaiser is a stunning male German Shepherd Dog.  He has a long coat with red pigment typical of West German show lines. It's very rare to find this color pattern in rescue! He's likely a middle-aged adult (probably 7+), but he acts like a younger dog.  Unfortunately, we don't know his exact age and can do more than take a guess.

He's been great with the people he has met.  He loves to go for walks, and enjoys toys.  He loves to lie next to his person and snuggle.  He loves to be in a lap.  He's a world-class cuddler and is happy to fall asleep cuddled close to his person.

He's very strong and likely to jump up and knock over small kids while playing.  We thus don't think he's a good choice for toddlers, but older kids could be okay.   He has started a little obedience work in his foster home and knows a few commands, but he requires an adopter committed to completing a good obedience course to help him know the right thing to do.

He gets along with other dogs, and he's especially fond of friendly, small dogs (he's best buds with a Yorkie in his foster home).  He's just a hint of an alpha male, but he tolerates obnoxious dogs when he has to.  We think he needs another friendly dog buddy to be at ease.    (We do not know how he is with cats, as there aren't any in his foster home.)

He still has a mischievous streak.  He is very fond of exploring objects and may take things left out.  He thus needs a home that will pay attention to keeping those things put away, while he learns to differentiate his toys from your treasures.

He loves to ride in the car and would be happy to go anywhere with you.

He is already house trained.
