Koton/Atlas

My story

Koton is a well-mannered, intelligent, and loyal 2-year-old German Shepherd looking for a home that understands his need for both mental and physical stimulation. He has the potential to go home with other dogs, with proper introductions. He does seem to do better with smaller female dogs, nothing against males he just prefers females. No cats for this guy! He has a high prey drive and will go after them. He has lived with children ages 2+ and done well. If you have other dogs or children at home, please bring them in for a meet and greet to ensure they are a match. Koton prefers women over men—again, nothing personal, he just gravitates toward the ladies! He was housebroken and crate trained before coming to the shelter but may need a refresher. Tennis balls rule his world and he will spend hours chasing them. Koton Will need consistent and ongoing training. His favorite treats are, freeze dried salmon, busy bones and dentastix, which will help in the training process. With being from a herding breed, Koton has strong loyalty, courage, and guarding instincts. To keep his mind and body engaged, he’ll need a job to do and plenty of enrichment.
