Despite not having the best start, he is a very happy boy who loves life. He's a typical long-coat shepherd; affectionate, loving, playful, and above all, goofy. He likes other dogs, particularly females<br />and is always very respectful. He knows basic commands and walks well on leash. He does have a high prey drive so definitely will need to go to a cat free home with a secure fenced in yard.</p> <p>Nero has medium energy and wholeheartedly enjoys his naps. He loves spending time in the yard and playing with his toys and balls. And loves car rides.</p> <p>Before Nero came to us, he had been abandoned at a rural gas station. For days he would go to people asking for help and trying to get in their car. After three days someone finally contacted animal control because we were told<br />people had been hitting and kicking him. When he first arrived, he was in very bad physical and emotional shape - barely able to go up stairs because of his pain. After several visits to the vet and chiropractor, the swelling and pain he was feeling was gone.<br />All through his ordeal, he was always good natured and gave little butter tongue kisses and is a very affectionate boy.</p> <p>Our dream is to find someone who will just lavish all the attention and love he deserves. Nero will need an experienced handler that has German shepherd ownership experience and a secure fenced in yard. Nero is neutered, up to date on vaccines.</p> <p>If you are interested in this wonderful boy, please complete a <a href="https://form.jotform.com/83115668015152" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BLUE MOON SHEPHER RESCUE APPLICATION</a>.
