River - German Shepherd For Adoption in Rockford, Illinois

Luke is an 8 year old purebred German Shepherd. He has been around kids of all ages and other dogs. Does not get along with male dogs but does fine with females. He’s an old man so he likes to just lounge around all day. He does resource guard so he has to be fed away from other dogs. He does well as an outside dog and an inside dog but will get into food or on counters if things are left out. He doesn’t play much given his age. He does good with strangers and kids but often forgets his size and will knock them over. He needs a home that will let him finish out his days in peace and be given all the love. Preferably as an only pet.

Very good dog. Very reactive (not aggressive) to other dogs. Had a blood blister behind last ear. Knows basic commands. New wife has bad allergies and can't keep.

I raised her since she was 2 months old. She has never been left alone. She loves kids. But is extremely skittish. Once you are in her (pack) she will protect you at all costs. Hardly ever barks. Like any German Shepherd she is smart. She has learned to open doors, especially the handle kind. She also has a certain kind of attitude. Silly at at times.

Gypsy was my sisters puppy and grew up with her until she had to stay with my parents due to expecting a baby and moving homes. Unfortunately my parents can't take care of her anymore due to health issues and she can't go back to my sister since its her first baby and her landlord won't allow large dogs. Gypsy is very energetic and loving, she deserves a home that gives her the time and love she needs.
