Young Shepherd needs loving home
I took Koda in from a bad home. He was neglected. His owners were going to shoot him if no one took him so I took him in. He is the sweetest most loving dog but I just dont have the time to give him the love and attention he deserves. I work 60 plus hours a week and im barely home. He is not fixed. He has had no vet visits that I know of. He is a 1.5 year old pure bred German Shepherd. He is very hyper. He also guards his food. I believe this is because he was starved. He was skin and bones when I took him in. He loves being outside. I have been trying to rehome home with no luck. I don't want to take him to my local shelter as they are a kill shelter.
