These 5 loving German shepherds are looking for their forever homes at SLO County shelter
German shepherd dogs are one of the most popular dog breeds in the United States, and San Luis Obispo County Animal Services has 15 incredible shepherds available for adoption.
Looking for a loyal family dog? Three-year-old Mason (ID: A300461) is affectionate, great with other dogs, well trained and gentle. He knows “sit,” “stay,” and is learning “shake.” Recently he went on a field trip with a volunteer where he was an A+ car passenger and loved everyone he met.
Harlow (ID:A300861) and Marley (ID:A300862) came in together and are a stunning duo. They both know tricks, walk well on leash and are good with other dogs. Harlow stands out for his stunning blue eyes, and Marley is easily recognized by his sweet smile.
Two-year-old Bruce (ID: A301986) is a fetch fanatic and water enthusiast. After a good play session, he likes snuggling up besides volunteers and sitting for treats. He will make an exceptional adventure buddy, but will need to be adopted into a single-dog home.
Artemis (ID:A301470) is a three-year-old German shepherd and labrador retriever mix. Her previous owners say she’s housebroken, good with other dogs, good with kids, very loving and well behaved. She has a calm demeanor, loves toys and knows how to sit, shake and roll over.
German shepherd dogs are known for being loyal, intelligent and obedient — however they are often overbred due to their popularity and end up in shelters. Beyond the five great dogs listed above, Animal Services has numerous other shepherds ready to make exceptional forever companions.
