About This Dog

Edwin's ideal home

Edwin is a fun-loving, energetic 6-year-old German Shepherd who is looking for an active home ready to embrace his zest for life. Don't let his age fool you—this handsome boy still has plenty of energy and loves nothing more than a game of tug of war or chasing a squeaky ball. He is instantly friendly and excitable when meeting new people, making friends wherever he goes. Edwin can live with secondary school-aged children who are comfortable around a large, bouncy dog, but he will need to be the only pet in the home as he prefers to have all the attention to himself. He can be left for short periods once settled, although any time alone should be introduced gradually. Edwin is looking for patient adopters who are happy to continue his training, including housetraining and building his confidence and manners.

Could you be Edwin's perfect match?

Edwin is conflicted when meeting other dogs and will need ongoing socialisation to help him feel more comfortable in these situations. As is typical of the breed, he can become frustrated around other dogs, so his new family will need to be committed to continuing his training. Our training team will be on hand to provide guidance and support every step of the way. With plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, enrichment, and positive training, Edwin will thrive in the right home. He is a loyal, affectionate, and playful companion who will make a fantastic addition to a family with German Shepherd experience or a love for the breed, offering endless fun and affection in return.
