In the shelter’s words
Zion is an absolute stunner of a dog, he is a 5 year old German Shepherd who turns heads everywhere he goes. He is a great dog that just needs a strong handler, familiar with the GSD breed. After about 3 years living in New Mexico, after being adopted from us in 2023, Zion had to return to the shelter through no fault of his own. Here at the shelter, he has made a lot of friends with our volunteers. They love to play fetch with him up in the yard! Zion is also a big lover of squeaky toys, the bigger the better!! He is so sweet with the people within his circle of friends here. Always rolling over for belly rubs, or leaning into them for booty scratches. This big guy also LOVES car rides! A little bit about Zion from his previous owner: He is a stunning German Shepard and a big boy weighing in around 100lbs and very strong. At home with people he trusts he is very chill, playful, friendly, and always happy for attention. His greatest joy in life is fetch and loves to carry his ball around with him. Zion has been formally trained with basic commands and behavior and responds to them excellently. He is always eager for learning, activity and engagement. He is kennel and muzzle trained. He can be slow to trust but once he does there is not a more loyal dog. Zion can be insecure, so he needs an owner he can look to for reassurance! When he trusts you, he will follow your lead, and follow you anywhere! Zion does need to be the only pet, in an adult only home.
