Vic is a happy guy who wants to please.

He likes people and would love to go on walks and hikes in the country if that is your inclination.

Like a lot of German Shepherds, Vic is a loyal dog who bonds deeply with his human companion(s). When left alone, Vic sometimes experiences separation anxiety so he would do best in a home where there is someone there with him most of the time.

It's possible that Vic would do well in a home with another dog that he can become attached to. Vic had previously been in a home where he challenged the other dog who was his size but more submissive. It's possible that Vic was showing he wanted to be "top" dog in the house and the other dog, although his size, was not standing up for himself.

At the BAAC, Vic goes out into the playyard with another, smaller female Terrier mix who has a confident personality. She doesn't let him get away with him trying to dominate her. Perhaps Vic will do better in a home with a female instead of another male (even though all animals are spayed/neutered) and with a dog that is slightly smaller who doesn't challenge him in size. But the dog should have some confidence and let Vic know that they have their own place in the family dynamics.

Dogs can also be like people and just not like the personality of another dog. So, if you think you might be interested in seeing Vic, we are willing to introduce him to your other dog at the BAAC to see how they interact. We have a large fenced in dog park where they can be introduced on "neutral" territory.

Vic is a great dog who will need a patient human willing to work with him and provide him the love and sense of security he needs, and in return, Vic will give plenty of love and loyalty back.
