He is available for rescue or adoption with a waiver, as Keanu has been diagnosed with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and needs twice daily pancreas supplementation. This handsome boy loves taking in all the good smells on his walks. Keanu warms up beautifully to new people and absolutely melts for gentle pets and affection. He’s happiest when he’s out exploring and would thrive in any home that enjoys plenty of adventures, whether it’s hiking trails, long walks, or backyard playtime. Keanu’s still working on his social skills with other dogs, so a little extra guidance and positive experiences will help him feel more comfortable. With his eager spirit and loving nature, Keanu is ready to bond deeply with a family who will give him the structure, activity, and love he deserves.12/11/25 14:24What did we do on today’s adventure:Today was my first Trails & Tails adventure and I was SO excited! I hopped into the car like a pro, and I was ready to see what the day had in store for me. When we got to our walking spot, I could barely contain my enthusiasm. There's just so much to explore and discover! I spent a lot of time with my nose to the ground, sniffing everything - the world is full of fascinating scents, andI want to investigate them all. I'll admit, sometimes my excitement gets the best of me, and I pull a bit on the leash because there's just SO much I want to check out, but I'm still learning. I showed off my 'sit' command for treats, and let me tell you, I am VERY motivated by treats - they're basically the best thing ever! We passed bikes,cars, and people during our walk and I was totally cool with all of them - no big deal. But other dogs? Now that's interesting! I really want to say hi to every dog I see because I think they might want to be my friend.What should potential adopters know about me:Keanu is a handsome, peppy young German Shepherd with all the energy and enthusiasm you'd expect from ayoung dog of his breed. He's very treat motivated and already knows `sit,` showing he's eager to learn and responsive to positive reinforcement training. Keanu loves exploring the world around him and investigating his environment. As a young, energetic dog, he does sometimes pull on the leash in his, so he would benefit from continued leash training and an active owner who can provide both structure andplenty of physical and mental stimulation. He rides well in the car and is non-reactive to bikes, cars, and people. He is very interested in other dogs and gets excited when passing them. He attends playgroup at the shelter, though his youthful exuberance means he can be a bit rough and rowdy with other dogs - he hasn't quite mastered theart of gentle play yet. He is a sweet boy who enjoys petting during breaks and showshis affectionate side when he gets one-on-one attention.Three words to describe me:Energetic, Curious, Enthusiastic 10/30/25 14:58Keanu is a 1-year-old German Shepherd with a curious nose and an even bigger heart.

Shelter veterinary team ran extensive gastrointestinal testing and diagnosed Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency, a disease that happens in German Shepherds where the pancreas does not make enough enzymes to allow for proper food digestion and vitamin absorption. Veterinary staff has started him on daily powdered enzyme supplementation at each meal, as well as other supportive care. Prognosis for Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI) is great with enzyme supplementation, and we expect his stools to improve and his body condition to improve steadily. Dogs with EPI can live a full normal lifespan with lifelong enzyme supplementation in his food. Seeking rescue or committed adopter. Can send pet with several bottles of `pancrepowder` supplement to start.
