About Prince
Introducing Prince, a loving four year old German Shepherd, who through no fault of his own, requires a new place to call home.
He is toilet/house trained and quiet only alert barking, no complaints from vocalisations or unexpected wake-ups. He is non-possessive with toys or food with people or dogs.
Prince does well with all sized dogs. He has previously lived with an elderly companion dog, regularly attends dog parks enjoying company of friends and unknown dogs.
Prince will require a committed family who will engage with him, providing the playtime and stimulation to keep him a calm and well balanced shepherd.
German shepherds require consistency with a daily routine, every day should include playtime, continued training to ensure that they feel they are a member of your family and inclusion in the home.
Prince has yet to be tested with cats or pocket pets. Due to his fun loving nature and size Prince is not suitable to go to a home with young children, but he is gentle with older children and one of his favorite games is “find ball”. Like all shepherds you will have someone to supervise you while you are home as he is attentive, and intelligent.
Prince has had some training and has great recall and understands a range of commands as well as walking on a loose lead. Quality engagement activities and moderate exercise allow this big boy to self regulate with rest and relaxation when he is alone or when you are having down time.
Very little grooming is required for this handsome guy due to his short coat.
Prince comes with a range of accessories and additional information regarding his dietary needs.
His ideal family will appreciate the loyalty and companionship that an adult shepherd can give once in a caring and stable home.
Prince is currently available for adoption in NSW, ACT, Queensland and Victoria. If you're interested in making him a cherished member of your family, you'll need to drive with your loved ones to meet him. Should he, for any reason, not be the perfect fit for your family, you would be responsible for either bringing him back to Sydney or helping us rehome him from your home.

We have an Adoptions Manager who screens all prospective candidates as to their suitability to adopt a German Shepherd Dog.
We try to contact every one by phone but if that isn't successful we will email our application form to you, which needs to be completed and returned, or you can call us back and we can chat and complete for you. We will also ask you to provide photos of your yard and fencing to enable us to see where the dog will be kept and that they have areas of shade and shelter.
All our dogs are ready to go to their new home, so when you enquire about a dog you must be in a position to take them into your home. We are unable to hold a dog while you fix your fences or go on holiday, etc.
The successful candidate who adopts one of our dogs is provided with an information kit, ongoing support, training and advice on all aspects of feeding, training and general assistance to ensure both the new owner and our rescued dog settle into their home.
