About Alan (Berger allemand) in Princeton

Alan is waiting for you at Ruff Start Rescue in Princeton, MN 55371. FIELD REPORT From: Sgt. Alan Shepherd, K9 Division Age: 7 years (Experienced Professional, Not Retired) Assignment: Head of Household Security & Morale Reporting for duty. I’m Alan. I’m seven, which means I know my job and I do it well—but I also know when it’s time to clock out and enjoy the perks. Let’s clear something up: I don’t stick around just because I’m sentimental. I stick around because I’ve checked the situation, done a perimeter sweep, and decided, Yes, this is my responsibility now. That’s just how German Shepherds operate. I enjoy patrols. Yard patrols. House patrols. “Let’s walk the neighborhood and make sure everything’s still where it belongs” patrols. I like knowing what’s going on and who’s involved. Once introductions are done, I’m friendly with people and pretty chill with other animals—as long as no one is being wildly obnoxious (looking at you, Boxer). Even cats are acceptable, but have you noticed? They always seem to be up to something. I'll keep a close eye on them for you. Here’s the good part: When the situation is under control? When the routine makes sense? When everyone’s behaving reasonably? I LOVE belly rubs. Like, really love them. That’s when I relax. That’s when I flop over, legs in the air, and accept my well-earned praise. I’m not hovering, I’m not monitoring—I’m off duty and soaking it up. I know my people are out there… we just haven’t synced schedules yet. No rush. I’m steady. I’m patient. I’ll keep things running smoothly in my foster home until the right assignment comes along. If you’re looking for a classic German Shepherd guy—loyal, thoughtful, enjoys a good patrol, and fully committed to post-work belly rubs—I’m ready when you are. End report. Belly rubs encouraged.
