Meet Gustaf, the charming 4-year-old German Shepherd Dog (GSD) with a heart as big as his bark! 🎉 After a whirlwind of experiences that started with puppy mischief, Gustaf is now on a mission to find a forever home where he can shine! 🌟 This handsome boy packs a personality punch with a playful spirit and a loyal heart. His time with a dedicated foster who is also a dog trainer has worked wonders—Gustaf has made leaps and bounds in his social skills and obedience. Imagine this: a glorious day spent outdoors, tossing a ball, and watching Gustaf's eyes light up as he races to fetch it! 🎾 He’s already honed his skills in sitting, staying, and the ‘come hither’ command! And don’t worry about those resident kitties—he gets along beautifully with them too! 😻 Now, Gustaf needs a special human who understands the GSD breed and appreciates structure and routine. He thrives when he has time for both adventures—like hiking and camping 🌲—and quiet moments at home. A patient and experienced adopter will be crucial in continuing his training journey. Gustaf is a little guarded at first, but don’t let that fool you! Once he trusts you, he becomes a loving cuddler, always eager to please his humans. 🤗 The rescue believes a home without young children is best for Gustaf, as they might accidentally let him roam when he’s still adjusting. If you think you could be the one to give Gustaf the understanding and structure he craves, don't wait! Apply to adopt Gustaf through the Buddy App today! 🐾✨
