Meet Brutus, a handsome 5-year-old German Shepherd with a wonderful personality. He's playful, affectionate, crate-trained, house-trained, and walks great on a leash, loving a good game of fetch. Brutus does well with dogs his size or larger but would thrive in a home without small dogs or cats. He is neutered and up to date on vaccinations. This smart boy knows "sit" and takes treats gently. Brutus is ready to leave boarding behind and find his forever family.
