About Greg

Click apply to start the adoption process. Meet Greg! Greg and his brother George were rescued after being found as strays in a local park, and they have been in foster care together ever since. These two boys share a strong bond and it would be wonderful for them to find a forever home together. Greg is a very friendly and social dog who has gotten along well with all other dogs he's met. He’s even met cats and showed no interest in them when introduced. Greg weighs about 80 pounds and is a strong, large dog. He needs an experienced large dog owner who can manage his strength, especially when he’s on leash—Greg still pulls enthusiastically. Both Greg and George will thrive with a family who includes them in daily life and activities, providing them the love and structure they deserve. Greg comes fully up to date on vaccinations, is neutered, and has been given all essential preventatives and a microchip. House training is off to a great start, thanks to his foster family, but patience in a new home is always appreciated as learning continues. German Shepherds like Greg are happiest when involved with their humans, and thrive on routine, love, and activity. If you’re prepared for the responsibility and joy that comes with adopting a committed companion, Greg (and hopefully his brother) would love to meet you. Born on December 29, Greg is a Capricorn—known for their loyal and steady nature. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
