From Missouri German Shepherd Rescue

BEAR is a handsome black-and-silver German Shepherd with a thick plush coat and a debonair dash of gray around his muzzle -- and he's looking for a family to love, relax with, and enjoy life with! (We know some of the photos make him look black & tan, but that's just the lighting in the room.)BACKGROUNDHi family surrendered him to a shelter, saying it was because of their health. However, Bear was clearly not well cared for and we suspect the real reason may be Bear's health. He was very skinny, his coat was in bad shape, he had a major ear infection and was holding his ear down, constantly shaking his head and scratching his ear. He also iteched all over and had a small patch of missing fur. A skin scrape was negative for mange, so he was for a yeast infection and recovered well. TEMPERAMENT / TRAININGBear is a smart boy who will require an experienced handler, preferably one familiar with strong-willed/dominant GSDs. He is even-tempered and very friendly but will still occasionally (in the right situation/circumstance) let you know that he disagrees with your request. He waits his turn patiently to go outside or inside without being pushy. He has proven that he would love to be…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.

How adopting Bear works

Missouri German Shepherd Rescue decides every adoption: its application, its fee, its home check and its timing. Everybarn only shows this animal on the rescue's behalf, takes no payment and passes no messages.
