Hi everyone Slim here! I just want to introduce myself and tell you a little about me.
I'm a little shy in the beginning but I do warm up ( treats and treats! ). I love going for walks and hiking those trails. Just throw that ball and watch me go!!
I'm really a good boy when I have proper time to warm up and cuddle. Did someone say cuddle ??...yup thats me!!
All I'm asking is that we take things slowly and give me enough time to adjust to my new home and family . My good friends at NDR said I'm ready for my happy tail ending. So again if you are cool with taking things slow in introducing me to all these new things, then please get off the couch and go fill out an application for me and my good friend will be more then happy to help you help me!!!

P.S...did I mention my foster family LOVE ME!!!!!

Slim is a beautiful and sweet boy, he will be your absolute best friend! He is a typical Shepherd and bonds strongly with his family and will protect them. He needs a strong owner who will continue his training. He has a strong protective instinct and would do well in any training as he will do anything for his person. He plays well with other dogs and in his previous family he loved the children but his drive to protect them is strong so we would like a family with no kids for him.
