Franz Beckenbauer, like his namesake, is "Mr. Versatility.” True to his name, he’s equally at home in urban settings if you like to walk your dog to the store or café. His photos show that he’s an old pro at all things outdoor. We hear that he’s also a great running partner, up to three miles five days a week. But he’s also none short on personality. His foster family says he tries to do almost any task or activity his people set before him. Retrieve a ball in water, no problem. Franz says, “Bring it on!” He would be a wonderful addition for just the right person looking for a good traveling companion, or someone you can take to the beach or camping. Franz is a high play-driven German Shepherd who considers himself to be an ultimate tennis ball aficionado. In fact, he's never met a tennis ball he didn't like. Franz loves to play ball and thinks his Kong toy is the most amazing item anyone could own. We haven't told him yet that it can be filled with yummy things like cheese and peanut butter (we'll leave that good news up to you!). His brain is like a sponge, waiting to absorb new stimuli and rewarding training. Playing tug and catch are two of his most favorite things in his world. As for looks, he’s a stunning red and black German Shepherd to boot! He has the coloring that many Shepherd people crave. Franz was brought into Washington by his previous owner, a breeder in Texas. Atypical to many rescue dogs, Franz is ready to settle in now with you. Please keep in mind, though, that we want the absolute right match for Franz—his new home must have previous Shepherd experience and must be a single person or an adult couple. All applications must meet this requirement. All in all, he’s such an amazing dog that he won’t be adoptable for long.
