PLEASE READ THE ANIMAL'S PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! <br/><br/>Hi... I'm Arthur <br/><br/>I'm a 3-year-old German Shepherd, and if you're looking for a loyal, intelligent companion who's equal parts playful and affectionate... I might just be your guy.<br/><br/>My story hasn't been the easiest, but it's made me who I am today. I survived Hurricane Helene and was later found wandering alone on Picnic Island. Even after everything, I never lost my love for people. I was adopted into a loving home where I spent a year and a half being part of a family, but sadly, my person developed severe allergies-so I'm back with the rescue through no fault of my own, still hoping for my forever.<br/><br/>I'm a pretty smart gentleman. I already know commands like sit, stay, and place (my bed is my "place"), and I take pride in being well-mannered in the home. I'm crate trained, potty trained, and leash trained, and I'm eager to please my person. I do best with structure and consistency, and professional training will be required for my adoption so I can continue building confidence and learning how to navigate the world successfully.<br/><br/>I've got a great balance of energy. I love to play-fetch is my absolute favorite thing in the world (seriously, I love my ball and frisbee)-but I'm just as happy settling down and being your snuggle buddy. I love chest rubs, belly rubs, butt scratches, and face kisses. My favorite place in the world? Right by your side, following you everywhere just to be close.<br/><br/>I can be nervous at times, and I can be fear-reactive around other dogs. Because of this, I need to be the only dog in my home. I also cannot live with cats or children. I'm looking for an experienced adult-only home that understands my needs and is committed to helping me continue to build confidence through professional training, structure, patience, and positive reinforcement.<br/><br/>I'm a big, goofy guy who sometimes forgets just how big I am, and I bond deeply with my person. I'll be the kind of dog who checks in on you, follows you around, and stays by your side. I love going on walks and adventures, but I'm equally happy relaxing at home with you and maybe watching some TV together.<br/><br/>I also have a sensitive tummy. I'm allergic to chicken, but I do great with turkey, beef, and fish (I especially love sardines!). Fruits like apples, bananas, oranges, and watermelon? Yes please. <br/><br/>My ideal home would be:<br/><br/>* Adults only - no children<br/>* No other dogs in the home<br/>* No cats<br/>* An experienced adopter who understands German Shepherds and is committed to my success<br/>* Professional training as part of my adoption plan<br/>* A structured, consistent environment with positive reinforcement<br/>* Someone who will give me plenty of mental and physical enrichment<br/>* A person or family who wants a deeply loyal companion who will stay close by their side<br/><br/>I'm affectionate, attentive, a little goofy, and deeply loyal. I've been through a lot, but I'm still full of love. I'm looking for someone who will understand me, advocate for me, and give me the structure and guidance I need to thrive.<br/><br/>All I want is a person to love and a place to finally call home-for good this time.<br/><br/>Love,<br/>Arthur <br/><br/>Adoption FEE: $400, which includes his neuter, microchip, and vaccines.
