Raleigh was turned into a shelter after his elderly owner was injured and could not care for him any longer.  Raleigh is a very handsome German Shepherd.  He is a sweet boy, very friendly and very eager to please.  He gets along fine with other dogs and was non-reactive to the shelter cats.  He is a bit of an escape artist -- as a matter of fact, he is an excellent escape artist and does manage to dig and climb his way out of a yard.  Supervision and a leash for potty duties will have to be in order until Raleigh determines that his next home will be wonderful enough to stick around in!  A good training class with his new family, held in a socialized setting will go a long way to instilling in Raleigh the structure and confidence and discipline he will need to make him feel comfortable in his own skin and confident in his people.  Raleigh is one of those dogs that will delight and excell in having a purpose.  Training will help him become a well-balanced and happy dog.  He will make a great and loyal companion for any family.
