*Meet Bryce – Your Loyal Shadow and protector!**  I am a fearless handsome goofball! I am a 2-year-old male German Shepherd with a  heart as big as my 90-pound frame. I can be affectionate and consider myself a "Velcro  dog"— wherever you go, I will be right behind you, always ready to offer my  companionship. I love to lay at your feet while you complete dishes and laundry while looking at you with the most loving eyes that will melt you to make you give me a treat!  My foster home has a lot of dogs and I play well with them but that doesn’t mean I need  a canine companion because as long as I have you, that is all I need. My foster mom  also has cats which makes me excited. When I think they want to play, I chase them around but when my foster mom tells me to stop, I listen for a moment but then want to  play again. My intentions are not to hurt them though. My forever home can have cats as long as you are willing to guide me and teach me that they are just scared of my size and mesmerized by how cute I am. Yes, I am a goofball that would play all day long, but I am also very intelligent and want  a home that has consistency and structure. I am crate and house-trained as far as using the bathroom goes, but if I am bored and left unsupervised, I create a little mischief by exploring countertops and rummaging through unattended belongings. I am NOT destructive, though. I have not been  around children at my foster mom's home, but she thinks I would be a rock star with  them! I do need a home with a secure fence that is at least 4 feet tall because my foster mom didn’t know that I like to play “tag”. She got some exercise trying to catch me around the neighborhood once but I just wanted to explore my temporary home is what I told her.  I want to find my forever parent or parents who will provide me with guidance, patience, and plenty of love, and don’t forget the treats!! In return, I will be the most loyal  companion, always eager to be a part of your daily life all the time, and love you  unconditionally. If you’re ready for a devoted best friend who will follow you anywhere,  Bryce is waiting to meet you!  If you think Bryce would be the perfect addition to your family, please contact your adoption coordinator.
