Meet Forrest! 🐾 At just 1 year and 10 months old, Forrest is a striking German Shepherd with an energetic spirit that will keep you smiling. Whether you need a hiking buddy or a playful companion, Forrest fits the bill perfectly! He absolutely adores other dogs and spends his time wrestling with his canine friends or proudly showing off his favorite toy in the yard. Forrest is not the type to lounge around all day—he thrives when he has a job, plenty of space to explore, and an active family to match his energy. Forrest can initially bark loudly at new people, which might come off as intimidating. However, he's just unsure about how to greet strangers properly. Once he gets to know them and receives a few pets, his tough exterior softens, and he becomes a lovable friend. Having been through four homes already, Forrest hasn't had the stability he deserves. He's looking for someone patient enough to help him settle into a forever home, where he'll offer endless loyalty in return. His leash training is going well, and he knows several commands, including sit and down. Forrest is kennel trained and settles in nicely—but make sure he gets enough exercise to keep him happy. He would thrive best with a spirited family that understands the unique needs of a young German Shepherd. If you're ready to give Forrest the loving home he's been waiting for, he's ready to reward you with lifelong adventures and companionship. Ready to meet him?
