I am looking to rehome my amazing 5 1/2 year old German Shepherd. Gryzzl is a fantastic addition to your family. He loves dogs, cats, and children. He is content to lay by your feet all day long. He does not bark unless necessary, he is potty trained, very gentle mannered, neutered at 5 months old so he never knew any type of aggression that comes with dog maturing, and knows many commands such as sit, lay, paw, get your toy, come, stay, leave it, go lay down, outside, fetch, and many others. I have had him from 6 weeks old and he is very special to me and my family. I am rehoming him solely because I am unable to obtain a registered service dog with another animal in the house. As much as I love Gryzzl, I need to place human needs first. He is an indoor dog who has access to outdoor time in our back yard. He loves to go for car rides, hikes, and walks. He will play fetch with you for hours. He has never destroyed any part of my house. He doesnt chew things up when he gets bored. He doesnt mark or potty inside the house. He truly is the best dog you will ever adopt.
