Meet Pluto! This handsome black-and-tan boy is everything you'd expect from a classic German Shepherd. If you love the loyal, intelligent, and protective nature of the breed, Pluto just might be your guy! Pluto came to us as a transfer from another rescue during a time when many rescues are overwhelmed. Despite his uncertain past, this four-year-old sweetheart is ready for a fresh start and a family of his own. Pluto is initially cautious when meeting new people, but once he warms up, he becomes a total Velcro dog who loves his humans deeply and bonds quickly. He's great with other dogs and enjoys their company, though he's a sensitive soul — if another dog snaps at him, he takes it to heart and may bark back. Pluto would thrive in a home experienced with German Shepherds and without young children. He is housebroken, working on crate training, and very treat-motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding for both of you. If you're looking for a devoted, sensitive companion who will be by your side through it all, Pluto is ready to meet you.
