Atwater (HW+)

Meet Atwater, the loyal 4.5 year old male German Shepherd Dog seeking his forever home. This 68 pound beauty has a sweet and gentle soul with the perfect balance of good manners and goofy charm! Atwater here is the type of dog that will make you laugh one moment with his silly antics, then make your heart melt with his calm, affectionate nature the next. He's well-behaved, eager to please, friendly, and playful, which makes him one splendid companion! Though he's a loyal shepherd at heart, his goofy personality shines through in the best ways, especially when he flops right over for belly rubs. Atwater is a gentle giant and is known to be a huge softie, despite his large size. His bark may be intimidating, but this pooch just wants lots of love and is a big baby at heart! Atwater is a moderate energy dog and is at his happiest going for long strolls, playing fetch (sometimes), and snuggling up close with his humans. If you're looking for a smart, sweet, and entertaining best friend who will stick by your side and keep you smiling, then big-hearted Atwater here may be your perfect match! In terms of potty training, Atwater is a good boy and holds it until he goes outside.
