Adoption fee: Please check with the rescue
- Centre:German Shepherd Rescue
- Location:Oxford
- Sex:Male
- Breed:German Shepherd Dog
Young Arlo is sadly looking for a new home due to a drastic change in his owners circumstances.
He is very protective of hisd home and famoly. The volunteer couldn't interact with him inside of the home, as he doesn't like strangers coming in.
He is said to be good with children but we feel due to his protectiveness we will only consider older large dog savvy children.
He is a definite NO to cats and he is fine with certain dogs
Arlo has a dreadful recall so this is something that will need some work. He is lacking in basic socialisation so again work will be needed. He does have basic commands and is good in the home for his family. He asks to be let out by going to the door.
He is NOT good at the vets so again work will be needed to make it less streeful for him.
When the owners go away he goes into kennels where he is said to be good natured and friendly albeit a little anxious. This is a great positive for the right adopter.
It is felt that Arlo missed out on his socialisation and proper training as a young pup which has resulted in him becoming overly protective of his family as he thinks that he is the boss. Outside of the home he is much less aggressive but is still nervous of sudden movements .
The voluinteer feels that he would benefit from a calm confident experienced home who can take him back to basics and deal with his protectiveness especially in the home. Given the right help he will most definitely become a very loyal and loveable companion.
