Description:
Foster Home Update:  Lobo is a sweet, gentle, loving dog! He is just plain AWESOME. All he asks in return is to be loved. He loves to play and run with his 6 year-old foster-sister, Ella. He has excellent manners and never tries to get on furniture. There are no food issues between the dogs. Walking on a leash also great! He has seen cats and shows no interest in them.

Chasing a ball is one of his favorite games. Unfortunately, he was given to Judy because the owner was never home working long days. Lobo needs a companion; he truly wants to be with others, dogs, people, etc.  Lobo needs another dog in the house.

***According to dogbreedinfo.com, in April 1899, Capt. Max von Stephanitz registered a dog named Horan as the first Deutsche Schäferhunde, 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.
