Hello there, I'm Basil! I'm a male German Shepherd Dog, full of energy and life!
I'm looking for a forever home with someone who understands my breed and can provide me with the lifestyle I need. I have a high energy level, being a working breed, so I need a family who can keep up with my active life.
I'm still young and learning about the world, which I can find a bit scary at times, so I need daily opportunities to learn and grow into a more resilient and confident boy.
I'd do best in a home with someone who works average work hours. When you are at work, I would love to have plenty of enrichment to stimulate my big brain and after you get home would enjoy training and socializing.
I'm a one-dog kind of dog, so I'd prefer a home where I can be the only canine star. I am not a pup who is going to be able to brave an off-lead area, as I become overwhelmed quickly when seeing other dogs.
I haven't lived with other animals before and would need slow introductions and socialisation before spending time with them unsupervised.
I would thrive in a home with older family members who have experience with large breeds as I may grow to be a big boy. I need a guardian who has experience with my breed and is prepared for a lively and loving companion like me.
Requirements:
- Must meet all family
- Children over 15 years
- Must be only dog
- Solid fencing
- Committed to ongoing training
- Breed experience
I can't wait to meet you and start our adventure together!
Love and wiggle butt, Basil.
