We're looking to rehome our beautiful German Shepherd, female pure breed 6 years old. We have twin boys, 5 years old, that takes up an enormous amount of our time. My wife and I work full time, and I travel a lot for work. Our dog is amazing but we just don't have the time to give her the attention she needs. To go for walks, throw Frisbee, play fetch. We're looking for someone who has land, with plenty of room for her to run and play fetch. Someone who will play with her everyday. She loves people because we socialized her as a puppy. Everywhere she goes people love her. I use to take her to dog parks, and she did fine with other dogs. Although it's been a while since we've been. If you think you can give this girl a good, fun life, please message us. We love her and just want the best for her.
