About Sarge

Sarge is a charming 5-year-old German Shepherd with an engaging personality. Currently thriving in his foster home, he’s shown himself to be housetrained and walks well on a leash. This playful guy has already won over his foster's 2-year-old, and he can be trusted with free roam of the house day and night. Toys and balls are Sarge's favorites, and he relishes the attention he receives—he's quite the affectionate buddy. If you stop petting him, he'll let you know it’s time for more! He’s also serious about testing the comfort levels of any couch or bed, making sure your home is just right. On walks, he maintains a steady pace until a squirrel comes into view, at which point his Squirrel Detection System activates. With great house manners and a lively spirit, Sarge encapsulates the essence of a devoted German Shepherd. All pets at Pet Central Helps! are up to date on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and on parasite prevention. Heartworm testing is performed on dogs over six months of age, and copies of veterinary and microchip records will be provided to adopters. Ready to bring this wonderful companion home?
