Deuce is a handsome 2-year-old, 75-pound German Shepherd with brains, energy, and personality to spare! This big, playful guy is always ready for fun, whether it's a game of fetch, a hike, or learning something new with his favorite people.Deuce already knows sit, paw, and lay down, and he loves showing off how smart he is! As a true working breed, he needs more than just physical exerciseâhe needs a job to keep his mind busy. Whether it's advanced training, scent work, puzzle toys, hiking, agility, or another activity, Deuce thrives when he has a purpose.Because of his size, intelligence, and energy level, Deuce is not recommended for a first-time dog owner. He can be a lot of dog, so his new family should have experience with the German Shepherd breed and understand the importance of daily exercise, structure, and mental stimulation. Despite all that energy, he's a huge sweetheart who forms strong bonds with his people.Deuce would do best with children ages 12 and up who can comfortably handle his enthusiastic play style. He is housebroken and has started obedience and crate training, which should be continued to help him become the best companion he can be.Deuce will need a home with a securely fenced yard where he can safely run and burn off energy, so apartment living is not a good fit. He would also prefer a cat-free home.If you're looking for a loyal, intelligent adventure buddy and have the time and experience to help a working dog thrive, Deuce may be your perfect match!If you are interested in adopting me or another homeless pet at Macomb County Animal Control, walk-in adoption hours are Monday-Friday from 10 a.m.â4 p.m.My adoption fee is $200.
