About Obsidian

Some dogs make an impression the second they walk into the room.

Obsidian is one of those dogs.

This handsome one-year-old black German Shepherd has the look, the ears, and the presence people love in the breed, but underneath that striking exterior is a friendly young dog who is ready for his next chapter.

Obsidian is potty trained, knows basic commands, and gets along well with other dogs. He has a solid foundation already started, which makes him a great fit for someone who wants a young German Shepherd without starting completely from scratch.

At just a year old, Obsidian is still very much a young dog. He will thrive with a family that can provide structure, consistency, continued training, and plenty of opportunities to use both his body and his brain. Like most German Shepherds, he wants to be involved, wants to learn, and wants to have a person he can look to for guidance.

Obsidian would do well in a home that appreciates working breeds and understands that smart dogs need more than just a backyard. Walks, training, enrichment, adventures, and clear expectations will help him continue becoming the incredible companion he is already showing himself to be.

He is friendly, social with dogs, and ready for a family that sees the potential in him and is excited to help him shine.
