Free German Shepherd

Sorry you have had to make this decision.. I had to do the same with a three year old shep many many years ago, and I hurt thinking about him all the time. My current 10yr old GSD was just over a year when we got him. Had been through three owners who for a variety of reasons - too big, allergies etc. kept taking him back. Sure he was a little out of sorts when we got him, but once he knew I was his master, he became the best shep I have ever had.

As you know, any pack animal will adjust to losing the leader of the pack. They might try to become the leader, or they will submit to a new one. As long as their new owner can provide the level of leadership and love that you have provided, he will be fine.
