Update 6/30/08

I am doing sooo much better now! My ears are all cleared up, & don't bother me at all anymore! My foster Mom won't let me eat anything with yeast, corn or wheat in it, & that's fine with me, because it keeps me from being all itchy. I do love to go for walks in the evening. I do need a little special care, but I am worth it!


 

Update 3/24/08


Hopper now weighs 99 lbs, his desired weight. His skin has cleared up nicely since he started eating a corn &wheat free food, no more expensive that any other good kibble. His ears are still a bit of a problem, but should be cleared up soon, after his last vet visit. He's made remarkable progress--check out his "before" pictures at the bottom of the page.

He is such a sweet boy, & loves to go for walks. Would you like to help Hopper's last few years his best?

Hopper is a sweet old boy who has had a hard life for too long and deserves a loving home who will help him recover from his serious sk
in and tooth infections.

He has a HUGE body frame, and as you can see from the pics, he's a good 30 lbs or so underweight.

Despite it all, this is one sweet and loveable guy!

 

NOTE:  In our experience many German Shepherd Dogs are very good with kids.  In our bios, we may provide information on our experience with a particular dog and children.  However AGSDR discourages ALL unsupervised animal/child interaction.  Children should be supervised at all times when they interact with ANY animal, whether it is a horse, dog, cat, bunny, lizard, or any other species.  Even loving household pets can have a grumpy day, or otherwise get tired of a child's attention, so proper supervision is essential for the well being of any child and any pet.

The entire biography of this dog is based solely upon our volunteers' direct experiences with the dog. The dog's age is an estimate, and statements about the state of health, temperament, training, and ability to get along with other animals, children, cats and other dogs, is estimated solely based on our volunteer's experiences with this dog. Your experiences with this dog may be quite different.
