About Skype Come Meet Me

Skype Come Meet Me is a sweet five-year-old German Shepherd Dog looking for a fresh start after a tough experience. Previously adopted, he faced a traumatic incident involving two large dogs that left him anxious and reactive on walks. He has PTSD from the attack and needs a dedicated owner willing to collaborate with a behaviorist to help him regain his confident spirit. Once a playful and sociable dog, Skype enjoys daily walks and loves spending time in the yard playing. He has been around cats and responds well to redirection if he gets too curious. This loving boy also enjoys car rides and is known to thrive with a little fun, whether it’s cruising for a pup cup or carrying a backpack on hikes. Skype is house trained, walks beautifully on a leash, and doesn't require crating. An active home with experienced owners will help him flourish. If you’re ready to help him heal and banish his anxiety, Skype offers endless affection and loyalty. Come meet him at our upcoming open house. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
