About Zion

Zion is an absolute stunner of a dog, a 5-year-old German Shepherd who turns heads everywhere he goes. He's a great dog who just needs a strong handler familiar with the GSD breed. After about 3 years living in New Mexico, Zion had to return to the shelter through no fault of his own. Here at the shelter, he has made a lot of friends with our volunteers. They love to play fetch with him up in the yard! Zion is also a big lover of squeaky toys, the bigger the better!! He is so sweet with the people within his circle of friends here, always rolling over for belly rubs or leaning into them for booty scratches. This big guy also loves car rides! Zion is a big boy weighing in around 100lbs and very strong. At home with people he trusts, he is very chill, playful, friendly, and always happy for attention. His greatest joy in life is fetch and he loves to carry his ball around with him. Zion has been formally trained with basic commands and behavior and responds to them excellently. He is always eager for learning, activity, and engagement. He is kennel and muzzle trained. He can be slow to trust, but once he does, there is not a more loyal dog. Zion can be insecure, so he needs an owner he can look to for reassurance! When he trusts you, he will follow your lead and follow you anywhere!
