Any suggestions?

Just had a family member pass away and we now have their 8-9 year old German Sheppard we are trying to find a good home for the dog. I would keep the dog but 3 is the max for my town.

How is the dog with kids and other dogs, any hip or health issues? How big? I’m interested for myself.

No health issues

He is fine with kids

The wild card is other dogs it was never socialized with other dogs so I can’t say either way.

My goal is to either work with a rescue or find the ideal person not looking for a situation where they take the dog for a while and then change their mind.

:word: Meet and greet is the way to do it. When my sister adopted her pitbull, she had to make sure it got along with her lab. It was a perfect match and those 2 are attached at the hip now.
