Deommodore is a beautiful German Shepherd and PAHS Pet of the Week
Deommodore is a 1-year-old male German Shepherd who has been neutered. He is an owner turn in due to the declining health of his owner. Deommodore has the classic black and tan coat of a pure-bred German Shepherd. He weighs 64 pounds, so he is a large dog. He is active, playful, and would love to have a fenced yard where he could play. Deommodore is friendly and sweet. We would not recommend he be in a home with small dogs or cats. If you have another dog, we would want you to have a ‘meet and greet’ with Deommodore and your dog. We see no reason Deommodore wouldn’t be good with older children; but, due to his size we wouldn’t recommend he be in a home with smaller children. Deommodore is a handsome, sweet fellow; who appears to be very intelligent. He is going to make a devoted friend to some lucky adopter. Deommodore is both leash trained and housetrained.
