About this Dog
ESSEX ~1.5 years old. Good with dogs. Kids and cats TBD. Needs a companion animal and fenced yard. GSRA adopts to residents of VA, NC, and SC only. Sweet young boy found wandering the streets, that is certainly no place for any dog, and certainly not Essex. He came into GSRA as a blank slate with the exception of already being housebroken & crate trained. That was a nice surprise, but also saddens us to know someone took the time to care enough about themselves, but not enough about Essex to teach him how to behave in a home. He has been a quick study with my GSRA alumni leading the way in teaching him how to interact with other dogs, his approach was a bit too excited, and he's learning a more slow, careful approach is better. He's learned sit, down, place, and importantly, OFF, from those kitchen counters and high furniture. He didn't know how to relax on a dog bed with family & watch the evening news. He was more interested in getting the story for himself by excitedly roaming the house; nah, that's how you get into trouble. He still needs practice in knowing how to act in the house and to just stay on his "place" to learn how to relax. Outside he is delighted to have a ball to chase or herd, see the video below; this is primal GSD coming out by herding that ball. None of that had to be taught, we're simply encouraging him to "bring" the smaller balls back to be thrown again. He will need a fenced yard to keep him safe & to enjoy this natural herding instinct. Leash walking is another area he's learning for the first time. He's a puller, so we are using a prong collar to assist with proper leash behavior. We've worked within the confines of our fence to teach, 'heel,' he's getting it and it's still a work in progress. Essex is in impressionable young dog who needs leadership from his humans. He's a good dog now, but I want an adopter who is committed to molding him in to a great dog. He's fantastic in the car and would enjoy all aspects of being an included family member in as many activities as you'll teach him how to participate in.

Adopt Essex and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Essex's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Essex's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Essex, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Essex's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Essex was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Essex’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Essex’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Essex’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
