She is very sweet, submissive to people, but does tend to be very nervous around small children, alot of licking and she tries to lay on them but has never growled or shown any ...

Rescue Me ID: 13-05-02-00376Ty (male)

German Shepherd    Age: Puppy

Compatibility: Not Good with Other Dogs, Good with Adults (Not Kids) 
Personality: Average Energy, Somewhat Dominant 
Health: Needs to be Neutered, Vaccinations Current, Abused/Neglected 

    We rescued Ty from a breeder in NJ at 7 months old (early April). He had never been around other dogs except for his siblings and parents, and he had never left his house and backyard. I hoped that we could help him become more normal, but our family and living situation (on a college campus with lots of other dogs and people walking around all of the time) has been too much for him. We have worked with a great dog behaviorist, but his lack of socialization early on is making him unable to adjust to our family. Instead of receding, his fear of other people and dogs is increasing. He needs a quiet home to slowly begin trusting his people ... (Read More)and surroundings. Older children who know how to act around a fearful and insecure dog would probably be fine. He has not been neutered yet, but that is only because we wanted to give him a few weeks to adjust to us before a traumatic surgery. He is current on all of his shots. Unfortunately, there are just too many adjustments for Ty to make successfully. An experienced shepherd owner is our first choice, as he needs to work with one or two people and not be overwhelmed with people and other animals. He is learning to respect our cats, and he loves our medium sized terrier, but upon initial meeting, he is very fearful and lunges and barks at other dogs/people. I have spent a lot of time working with Ty, and he is a very sweet and loving dog when he is feeling comfortable in his environment (which is with our immediate family in our house and pretty much no where else). However, after talking for quite a with our trainer, she recommended that we find him another home as soon as possible. There is just too much for him to handle, and he is not equipped. Right now, he has a fighting chance, but if he does actually bite someone, it will be difficult to place him, and his fear will shift to fear-aggression. Please contact Dianna for more information. Thank you for reading our post. (Less)
