Hi, I'm Reese! I'm a 6 year old German Shepherd looking for a special home. I was adopted from Muskegon Humane last year but was returned due to a change in my owner's housing situation. I am dog reactive and I need to be the only dog in the home. Another family member moved into the home with their dog and  we were not able to get along, so I was brought back to the shelter. I'm a  very sweet and loving boy with my human friends, I'm just not fond of other dogs. I will also need a fenced in yard. The dog trainer here at the shelter is helping me with what she calls "counter conditioning and desensitization"- she says this will help me start to associate other dogs with good, happy things instead of bad,negative things. She is also teaching me other new behaviors (like 'touch', 'walk away' and eye contact) that my new family can use to help me focus on them while we are out for walks instead of other dogs that might pass by. She said that I might not ever be able to be buddies with other dogs, but she can help me be more comfortable and make life a little easier for me- and my new owners! She also said she will help my new family even after they adopt me! Or if they live far away, she can help them find a trainer in their area so they will always have support! If your looking for a big,loveable, goofy guy to be your one and only dog- I might be the right fit for you! Put in your application! show less
