Description:
Isn't Chase a delight! I love his worrisome face! Read what his foster parents have to say about him:
"Chase is a German Shephard and Husky or Rottweiler mix. We found him walking on a very busy road three weeks ago. Chase is about 1 year old about 60 pounds. He is very sweet and very energetic! As you can see from the pics he has a wonderfully expressive face and can be very gentle...especially when he eats. ( He likes to be hand fed sometimes :) We have had to keep him in a large kennel while we are at work and he has adjusted very well. But when we come home...he needs to PLAY! He loves to play with socks and chew toys. He does need some basic obedience training of course since he's a puppy. If my husband and I were able to devote more time to him and had a fenced in yard, we could have kept him... but it's just not fair to him right now with our busy schedules. We are just trying to find him a
'forever' home where someone can appreciate how wonderful he is."

Could you give him that home?

***Do you know the history of the German Shepherd? According to dogbreedinfo.com, in April 1899, Capt. Max von Stephanitz registered a dog named Horan as the first Deutsche Schà¤ferhunde, which means German Shepherd Dog in English. Known for their tremendous loyalty and courage, they are calmly confident, but not hostile. This breed needs his people and should not be left isolated for long periods of time. They only bark when it is necessary.

Serious and almost human in his intelligence, they have a high learning ability. The breed is so intelligent and learns so readily that it has been used as a sheepdog, guard dog, in police work, as a guide for the blind, in search and rescue service, and in the military. The German Shepherd also excels in many other dog activities including schutzhund, tracking, obedience, agility, flyball, and ring sport. His fine nose can sniff out drugs and intruders, and can alert handlers to the presence of underground mines in time to avoid detonation, or gas leaks in a pipes buried 15 feet underground.

A quick daily brushing is best unless hair in the house is not a problem. They should be bathed rarely, only once or twice a year to avoid skin oil depletion. Shepherds have a life expectancy around 13 years.
