Meet Silas

Silas is a m/n 4yr old German shepherd who came from Louisiana. He has been in foster care for the past few months and is loved immensely. He was heartworm positive and emaciated when he arrived in NJ, but has successfully been treated for heartworm and has gained 35lbs. Silas has had the desire to please from the moment he was picked him up from transport.. He quickly learned all basic obedience and full house manners, but his foster home also quickly recognized this guy has mild ocd. Ocd ( obsessive compulsive disorder) is a repetitive behavior , in his case its circling of objects when excited. Dogs with OCD often have a history of abuse, neglect or exposure to extremely stressful situations. Some have been confined in small areas for a long time without physical or mental stimulation. In Silas case he was left outside in a cage and being a highly intelligent breed developed this behavior. Silas is a sweet, loving, friendly dog and wants nothing but to make his owner happy. He enjoys cuddling and kisses. He is a young energetic dog so a home that is active is best. He lives with 5 other dogs . He also has spend time with kids 5 and up ( I believe he would be fine younger, he just would have to be trained to not knock them over, etc) He needs a home that will cont. to give him structure and guidance so he can succeed to his full potential. .. Applications are on our website www.fowarescue.com His adoption fee is $295.00 If you can't adopt but want to help please hit the sponsor button or to help make Silas comfortable in his foster home pick an item off his wish list on Amazon the link is http://amzn.com/w/11XDMOP7UI0AK THANKS
