Shep had been living outside for years before he came to FDR. He came with a slightly chequered past, however since being with us he has proven himself to be a perfect gentleman. He has been known to get protective of his home and family (as people familiar with German Shepherd types will know!), especially from visitors like the postman! Therefore he will need an owner who can deal with this and not let it get too out of hand. He isn't used to socialising with other dogs, and although he doesn't seem to be aggressive, would probably suit being the only dog.

Shep is in excellent condition for his age and many people can not believe he isn't younger! He loves his walks and walks well on the lead. He also enjoys a game of football. Please do not just dismiss this lovely chap, he definitely still has lots to give the right person
