About Shear

Shear arrived at just 4 months old and has made some progress since then, but he's still wary of new people. He needs an adopter experienced with German Shepherds who can continue to build his confidence and work on his social skills. Structure, patience, and ongoing training are going to be important for Shear. Beneath the nerves, he's playful and sweet, often showing a lighter side once he’s comfortable. He isn’t house trained yet and is working through some early signs of hip dysplasia, so building strength in his back end will be important. Anyone considering Shear should be ready for the commitment. Click apply to start the adoption process.
