Okami

Life has been a challenge for dear, sweet Okami.  He was hit by a car as a younger puppy; his body healed but he suffered some brain damage.  In spite of it all, Okami loves each and every day - what a great outlook on life!  He loves to play with other dogs, he loves to sunbathe on a warm, sunny day or quietly chew on a rawhide bone on his bed.  He enjoys walks and will follow right behind you.  He has the most beautiful soft coat and adorable huge feet.  He's only 10 months old and 86 pounds and he still has some growing to do.  Okami is kind, gentle, wouldn't hurt anything, but is simple and has some physical and intellectual limitations.  But we have seen him learn and improve daily.  He is on medicine for seizures and they are under control.  He's learning commands and is almost perfectly housebroken.  He's really getting the hang of the doggie door.  We have seen that with patience and love he will continue to progress.  He wants so much to please and make you proud of him.  Because of the trauma he sustained, he's not as coordinated or as graceful as most German Shepherds but he doesn't mind a bit.  Because of his special needs, Okami has nowhere to go.  He's looking for a special person with a huge heart who can see his gentle, precious soul.  He doesn't ask for or need much - just someone to love and accept him.
