Sherman is a big love and a rescue favorite! He is housebroken, easy going, loves walks, plays with toys and cuddles. He is an all around great dog looking for a chill house hold to enjoy his golden years in.

As most GSD he has hip dysplasia in left hip and this has caused some right front leg arthritis but with his supplements and pain meds that doesn't stop him from having a good time. His meds will cost around $110- 140/month depending on medication / supplement combos. He currently is getting monthly injections for pain which is the cheaper route.

He is good with dogs but would prefer to be the one and only as he only has eyes for his people. 

Poor Sherman was surrendered by family members when his mom got dementia and fell and hurt herself. He laid by her bed and was protective of her and the family felt it best to rehome him. His crime was loving her too much and being a German Shepherd!  If you can handle being loved that much, apply today!
