Ty - 5 year old male German Shepherd Dog Cross

Ty (ref 89d) is a rather jolly medium-sized 5 year old male German Shepherd Dog cross, possibly with a hint of Spitz in him. He was brought to Derby RSPCA Centre by an RSPCA Inspector because his last owners had too many dogs and could no longer cope with owning them.

He is a very likeable chap and tremendously friendly towards people. He’s perfectly happy to let even complete strangers make a fuss of him and adores being stroked, groomed and told what a lovely dog he is.
He has a very handsome and rather dense coat, so he will need to be groomed regularly to stop it getting matted.


Being part German Shepherd, he is a highly intelligent dog, but he currently only seems to know one or two commands because his last owners don’t appear to have bothered much with training him or even taking him for walks. However, he is such a clever dog that he should easily pick up commands and will love to learn. His last owners don’t seem to have played with him either, so he will need to be introduced to the idea very gently - though he certainly gives the impression of being a dog who’d be up for fun and games.

Ty would be suitable for a household where any children were aged 10+ and kind to animals. He appears to get along fine with other dogs and seems at present to ignore cats altogether, though that may only be because he’s distracted by the alien environment he’s currently living in. Like most dogs, he would definitely chase rabbits.

Lovely friendly Ty needs an active home where he can count on getting plenty of fresh air and exercise as well as lots of opportunities to use his wonderful brain and learn new commands. Being left all on his own makes him very unhappy and upset, so he needs to live somewhere where there’ll normally be someone to keep him company and make a fuss of him.

Ty really is a superb dog with a lot of love to give to his new owners and a wonderfully distinctive personality too.
