Optimus von Orbis is a beautiful 4-5 year old German Shepherd. Optimus is one impressive extra-large male who is looking for a quiet adult home: Per Optimus, "I came from a small town in the Central Valley, I'm used to hanging out and pretty much entertaining myself. I can be fine until you come home from work, and I don't need another dog." Optimus has a calmer-to-medium energy level. Even though he is big and strong, he walks great on a leash right next to his handler, even in a pack of multiple dogs. Around other dogs, Optimus is an independent dude who is content doing his own thing. He meets dogs acceptably on walks, but he’d prefer to be the only dog in the home. In the play yard, he did well exploring on his own while occasionally returning to his human friends for pets. He's housebroken and already knows some basic commands such as sit, down and stay. We suspect, however, that Optimus may have been born under the Zodiac sign of Taurus, because he wants to come to decisions on his own and not be too pushed by others. If you are shepherd-experienced and looking for an impressive big boy, apply to give Optimus his forever home today.
