Meet Revan (Powerful. Loyal. Not for the unprepared.) Revan is a 2-2.5-year-old male German Shepherd, approximately 90 pounds, strong, driven, and currently in training. He'll be available for adoption in April through Rocket Dog Academy. Like his namesake, Revan isn't for everyone-but in the right hands, he becomes something exceptional. He is: Highly intelligent and powerful Very affectionate with his handler Learning a solid on/off switch (drive calm) Training in both English and German Capable of forming a deep, loyal bond We'll be starting nose work and possibly foundational tracking, and he has the potential to go in multiple working or sport directions. Dog Selectivity Revan is currently dog selective, and we are actively working on this. Much of it comes from a lack of early structure-he was a large, powerful young male with too much freedom, too much testosterone, and no boundaries. With training and leadership in place, we're already seeing solid progress. He will require: Clear, consistent leadership Continued training Proper management around other dogs His story Revan was found in California as an emaciated stray, wandering alone. He spent weeks in a high-kill shelter before making his way to the Pacific Northwest. After landing in a home that wasn't the right fit, he was entrusted to me. And anyone who knows me knows I have a soft spot for black German Shepherds-so I'm committed to getting this one right. He is scheduled to be neutered around the 23rd, and is expected to be ready for his forever home by the end of April, with training already underway. Not for first-time dog owners Revan is looking for someone who wants a true working partner, not just a pet.
