About Sokka
Sokka is just a big lovable puppy. He is a sweet boy and everyone he meets falls in love with him 💙
Household - Sokka would be suitable for an active family with German Shepherd breed experience to ensure that his needs are met for a successful adoption. Due to his bouncy nature Sokka could unintentionally knock over young children or the elderly, therefore a younger adult household would best suit Sokka.
On Going Training - Sokka is still very puppy like and has previously received limited training. He is keen to learn and with the assistance of treats, you are able to gain Sokka's attention to perform basic commands. Sokka requires on going behavioural and socialisation training.
On Lead - When Sokka commences his walk he is extremely excited and likes to set a fast pace by heading towards any bushes in sight to investigate. To improve Sokka's lead manners he will require further training from his handler.
Play/Toys - Sokka loves to engage with you during playful activities like running and allowing him to jump, but he is hesitant to engage with you using toys. He will need further encouragement from his handler to learn to play with balls etc or participate in games such as tug’o’war.
Other Dogs - He is super keen to initiate play with other canine friends. Sokka loves all opportunities to run side by side with another friend. Some dogs may find his playful approach a little over the top therefore if you have another dog at home a meet & greet is a must.
Cats/Other Animals - Sokka is yet to be tested for his suitability to be homed with cats etc. If you are interested in adopting Sokka and have a cat at home we can conduct some further testing.
Car Rides - Initially Sokka was hesitant to hop into a car. Once inside, Sokka travelled well, standing in one spot for the entire journey. He wasn't entirely comfortable but did not bark or make any noise.
Care/Grooming - German Shepherds have a thick double coat that requires regular grooming to maintain their health and appearance. It's recommended to groom them at least once a week. Their coat sheds all year round.
Excerise - Sokka is always on high alert and keen to explore new environments. He absolutely loves the outdoors and will thrive from opportunities of daily walks/runs/adventures to keep him healthy and mentally stimulated.
Sokka is located at our Erina Shelter and is a gorgeous 1 year German Shepherd Cross. His $500 adoption fee covers - microchipping, desexing, lifetime registration, current vaccination, flea and worming treatments.
If you feel Sokka would be happy in your home and you can meet all of his needs, please lodge your interest online and we will be in touch.
