Pets in Michigan : Dog : German Shepherd : Harvey
Harvey
Harvey should be available after the 25th if all goes well. He came from a home where he'd been kept chained outside. He looks like a purebred but for his crazy curly tail. He's a sweet, loyal boy who quickly attached himself to me particularly, but is social and affectionate with everyone. He's NOT a suspicious guard dog type, and in fact rarely barks unless he thinks the situation is really serious, and quiets when asked. He's proven polite with other dogs, EXCEPT strange dogs if they enter his territory before he's had a chance to greet them. He can get mean under these circumstances, although in all others he's been amazing considering he's not yet neutered. Neutering should help this issue, but may not resolve it entirely. He does like other dogs and has gradually learned to play while here (Frog is a good teacher on that subject). But he'd love to be an only dog where he could get ALL the attention. He's very attentive to "his" person, he follows me every step I take and frequently seeks attention. Very affectionate, bordering on "needy" and just a big baby at heart, he'll crawl right into your lap if you let him, all 70 lbs of him! He has some tendancies to chase cats and small animals, but he listens so well this shouldn't be a problem so long as his new owner is willing to put some time into supervision and training. He learns very fast, knows some basic obedience and we're working on leash training. He's been completely house-trained here, after a couple corrections for lifting his leg (neutering will help), and his manners are excellent. He rarely gets into anything he shouldn't and somebody must have taught him to stay off the furniture unless invited. Certainly a VERY intelligent and trainable boy, his whole world revolves around pleasing his people.
