Paws for Vets

Rafael is a traditional black and tan GSD. This handsome boy is @ 8 yrs old, 81lbs, neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. He is heartworm positive and is undergoing treatment. Rafael is technically a senior, but don't let that fool you- this fella has plenty of fun and pep in his step! Rafael acts like a nosey neighbor and wants to be in on everything. He is crate trained at night and does best with his crate in the bedroom with us. When we are not home he has free reign of the house with our other dogs, and has had no issues. Rafie has a happy personality, is friendly with people and likes to be right beside you. He is housebroken, has mastered the doggie door, knows "sit" and "give me your paw". Rafael loves balls, playing in the toy box, car rides and short walks. In typical German Shepherd fashion, Rafael follows his person from room to room. If we are sitting down, he is laying at your feet or very nearby. His favorite thing is eating and he can be an obnoxious beggar - we are working to correct this behavior. He has learned he must "sit" before mealtimes. Rafael is easily corrected and thrives when he has a routine. Rafael would be a great companion dog for someone who works from home. He doesn't like being left alone for long periods of time. He is good with people and dogs his size. Apply to adopt Rafael!
