Description:
LOOK AT THIS STUNNING BOY!
Grimm is a purebred german shepherd who was bred in the Czech Republic from a working line of dogs. His original owner was a police officer who brought him over to do K-9 work as a hobby (not for the police force). But within a couple months of owning Grimm, he was forced to rehome him due to personal circumstances. Grimm found a new home with a family who loved him dearly, but were not in a situation to give Grimm the leadership and mental stimulation this guy needs.

You will not find a better behaved dog - he knows his basic commands, and obeys immediately. This guy is SMART as a whip! Grimm LOVES his people, and is really a big mushy sweetheart. He can chase a tennis ball for as long as your arm can throw it! And he gets along very well with other dogs, and even cats!

We are looking for Grimm to be a companion dog for a family or individual(s). We would love him to have a new guardian(s) who is interested in doing advanced obedience, agility, tracking, or something similar - but this is not a requirement. However, because Grimm is a highly intelligent GSD that comes from strong working bloodlines, his new guardians DO need to have the following qualifications:
1. Be experienced with the GSD breed.
2. Be committed to offering Grimm a high level of exercise, mental stimulation, and socialization (this means structured daily walks, play time to chase balls, toys and activities to keep his mind busy, visits to PetSmart to greet new people and dogs, time at the dog park, etc.).
3. Have the knowledge to provide training and a strong sense of leadership. (Or the time and desire to work with a trainer to achieve this knowledge).

Grimm will not be adopted out as a "Guard Dog." As with all our dogs, he must live indoors as a family companion. Any children in Grimm's new home need to be old enough to understand and respect large breed dogs. Will you be the lucky new people who get the opportunity to have this amazing german shepherd as your new companion?

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
