Booker is a 10-month-old German Shepherd mix who arrived as a stray on 11/18/2025 and is not yet neutered. Listed at 36–75 lbs (likely mid-range), he has a striking tan-and-black coat, a dark muzzle, and warm brown eyes that show both his uncertainty and his sweetness. Booker has been very unsure in the shelter environment — even hesitant to step beyond the parking lot — but with the help of the volunteer trainer, he is just now beginning to walk out into the field and build his confidence. He walks nicely on leash, is gentle, and is so affectionate once he trusts you.
