Learn more about the German Shepherd Dog.
Please welcomie Kayden to the SSR pack. Kayden came up from Texas on transport last week and steadily has been learning the house rules. You see, Kayden found himself in a shelter in the Rio Grande Valley as a stray, and it’s not clear that he has ever lived in a home before.
All that aside, Kayden has been a pretty good houseguest! He has discovered dog beds and sofas are very comfy to sleep on. He thinks eating on the regular is awesome. He thinks squeaky toys are super fun. He thinks the occasional shoe is for munching. He definitely now understands the word ”no”.
![]() Kayden is:
*about eight months old (his paperwork says 12 months but he appears younger, about eight months)
*currently about 50 lbs. and based on his feet likely to be on the smaller size when full grown (60-65 lbs.)
*heartworn negative!
*people, kid, and dog friendly
*cat friendly (though he chases and wrestles with the resident cat in his foster home but has shown zero prey drive toward her)
*crate trained
*not completely housebroken yet, but very close
*clever and eager to please
Kayden would do great with another dog in the house, though it’s not an absolute necessity. He does enjoy the company of other dogs, and continued socialization is highly recommended. He currently knows only limited commands, and his leash manners need work, so training must be on the agenda for a potential adopter.
If Kayden sounds like to guy for you, please reach out to your caseworker to learn more about him.
