Wetherby won’t remove his hat yet because it’s been so weatherly outdoors. Wetherby’s a perfect example of a German shepherd: affectionate, loyal, and a glutton for play and exercise. Approach him with a pull-toy, and get ready for a tug-of-war workout for both of you. Wetherby wears a lot of hats, and the one he’s got on right now is his foster dog one. He’s taking time out from the kennel at the home of a substitute parent and is having the time of his life. He’d love to make it a permanent situation, so if a 4-year-old big buddy would fit into your lifestyle, contact Long Beach Animal Care Services to meet Wetherby! The shelter’s way over capacity with dogs, so speed the process to adopt Wetherby or any of our other pets by emailing PetAdopt@longbeach.gov or petfoster@longbeach.gov.
