Meet Moto, a loyal and spirited almost five-year-old purebred German Shepherd from Blue Springs, MO, whose sleek black coat and soulful eyes are only matched by his deep desire to bond with his favorite people.
Moto is the definition of a faithful companion. Weighing in at a sturdy 85 pounds, he’s a strong, athletic guy with a big heart and an even bigger love for fetch—his absolute favorite game! He’s a toy enthusiast who lights up when it’s playtime and thrives when he’s got a job (even if that job is simply retrieving a tennis ball from across the yard). He hasn’t had formal training, but he knows most basic commands and is always eager to please, especially with a little positive reinforcement.
This sweet pup is vaccinated, crate-trained, house-trained, and well-adjusted to a consistent routine. He sleeps and eats in his kennel, does well when left alone for short stretches, and enjoys grooming every six weeks to keep that shiny black coat in top shape. Moto is also great with young children and would thrive in a home with a securely fenced yard where he can safely stretch his legs and enjoy some zoomies in the sunshine.
Though he can be wary of strangers and should be given time to warm up, once Moto knows you, he’s all about the cuddles and attention. One of his most endearing quirks? When you start showering him with affection, he spins around on his head and neck like he’s doing a joyful little dance! It’s equal parts goofy and heart-melting—just another reminder of his sweet, silly nature.
Because Moto has shown some tension with his sibling, his new family should give him the space to be the only dog in the home. He may be compatible with other pets in the future, but a slow introduction and careful supervision would be important.
