Now Jader has been here for months and is not doing well. The shelter is misunderstanding his behavior and he might be euthanized soon. I have contacted the Dutch Shepherd rescues however they weren't very Inclined to help. He is just amazing and needs help.

He is very stressed and is directing his stress toward other dogs right now. Once calm, he seems fine with other dogs.

My house is already full of dogs or I would just take him and figure it out to save him. If you have any resources in helping him that would be amazing. He's super smart, can do agility, he's fast and very focused on his handler.

If you have any suggestions or can point me where I should go to get help for him please let me know. Thank you.

The man that had to give him up dropped him off and told the shelter he was DS. I agree his snout is a bit boxier and has some qualities that aren't DS however his demeanor is At least 90% DS if not 100%. His drive is unreal.

That is part of why I am advocating for him so much. He has this amazing potential and so eager to learn and just so incredibly intelligent.

He is hurting inside and confused you can totally tell. And just wants a master to give him that safety, comfort and direction. Thanks again I appreciate it so very much. Hopefully this guy finds an understanding home soon.
