Tommy is a 2-year-old long-coated German Shepherd, gentle with both people and dogs. When he first arrived, he was timid and unsure, but foster care has helped him open up and show his playful side, especially around other pups. Tommy is the kind who shines with the company of another confident dog and truly benefits from having a canine companion to help him adjust. He is crate trained, neutered, and looking for a calm, patient home with adopters who understand shy dogs and have experience earning trust slowly. Because of his shyness and minimal socialization as a young dog, Tommy can be a flight risk if startled or given the chance to escape, so a securely fenced yard is required. He's made real progress but still relies on compassion, consistency, and a reliable routine as he continues to grow. For the right family with patience and a love for shepherds, Tommy will turn into a loyal companion worth every step of the journey. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
