About Chase

Chase is a remarkable 8-year-old male German Shepherd who weighs about 70 pounds. With a solid build reminiscent of the traditional Shepherds from the '70s, he has the athleticism of a much younger dog, showcasing no signs of hip issues or arthritis. Chase can be described as a person in a dog suit, displaying a slightly obsessive love for fetch. He thrives when treated with understanding, responding well to explanations about rules and routines. Housebroken and a good car rider, he does have some lazy days where he may play coy with obedience, but those familiar with working breeds will appreciate his unique personality. While Chase gets along with children, he does not get along with dogs or cats; he views them more as toys than companions. He tolerates their presence but prefers to be the solo star of the show. On the mellow side, he knows when playtime is over and will transition to relaxation with ease. This distinguished gentleman is ready to find the right home that appreciates his one-of-a-kind charm.
