Beautiful and sweet German Shepherd. He is a year old, lives with Guinea pigs and a cat, is house broken, and loves kids. We are sad to see him go, however, when we took on the responsibility the family dynamic and the circumstances were different. I am physically unable to give him the exercise that he needs. We are also moving near family which is resulting in downsizing and feel it is best for him to find a home where he can thrive and truly be happy. He loves to run, he loves to be with human, and he really loves to be trained. He will come with all of his items including his doggy puzzles. We are hoping he will go to an amazing home where they will love him as much as we do. My kids are very sad to see him go, but we just want what‘s best for Zeke. Please only inquire if you know what it means to be a German Shepherd owner.

Why are you rehoming your pet (primary reason)?:
Moving
Rehoming reason details (if necessary):
To be honest, my partner of 8 yrs decided we could take on this responsibility. Since I do have a problem with my knee, he was the one who was going to keep the dog active and trained. When he left, I tried to step up for the pup but now that he is requiring longer walks I am physically unable to keep up. I still tried because where I live had a dog park in the complex where him and the kids can run. However, I am moving to assist my parents and go to nursing school so I will be downsizing and will not have the space he requires to thrive and will lose time to train him.
How long will you be able to keep your pet before you may need to consider surrendering him or her to a rescue?:
Not an option, my pet will stay with me for as long as it takes
