MARKUS's Story

Hi, I’m Markus. <br/>I’m a sleek German Shepherd, and I recently went on a little sleepover to show off my stellar house manners. My temporary foster parent took notes, and honestly? The reviews are glowing. If you appreciate a mature gentleman who knows the house rules, check out my resume: <br/> <br/>PERSONAL STRENGTHS... Spa Enthusiast: I don't mean to brag, but I am a dream in the tub. I literally hopped in, sat down like a perfect gentleman, and let myself be lathered and blow-dried. I expect a high-quality treat for this level of cooperation, of course.<br/>Chauffeur-Approved: I view car rides as a luxury Uber service. I get in easily, sit in the back seat, mind my business, and leave a 5-star review.<br/>The Perfect Roommate: I'm fully housebroken and have excellent house manners. I walk beautifully on a leash (I do like to be the line leader, though). I’m totally cool if you step into the other room for a bit. You do you, I'll do me. At night, I peacefully alternate between the dog bed and the floor. If we both have to get up for a midnight bathroom break? No drama. We do our business and go straight back to sleep.<br/>Love Language: Quality time and physical touch. Toys? Boring. Treats? Excellent. Full-body hugs where I lean my entire weight into you ? Perfection. MY ONE WEAKNESS (Hey, nobody's perfect) I have a zero-tolerance policy for cats: Dog friends, yes... cats, no thank you. <br/> <br/>The Final Verdict: I am a well-mannered, sweet, affectionate soul... who needs a strictly cat-free kingdom. If you’re looking for a dignified senior GSD who will fill your life with big hugs and zero bath-time drama, I’m your guy. <br/> This handsome boy has participated in shelter playgroups and he may enjoy a compatible canine friend in his new home. He's also sharing his shelter suite with a friend he met at the shelter. Looking for a buddy for your dog? Bring him/her to the shelter for a meet and greet and see if we're a match!
