Need to find great home for an excellent boi with a powerful prey drive!

Meridian ID

Description

It breaks my heart to begin down this road, but I think it’s in his best interest if I try to find a better home for my pure bred all black GSD. His name is Moro (think princess mononoke!) and he turned 1 back in March. I have the papers from when he was born and all his vaccination/licensing paperwork as well. He’s not fixed. I wanted him as a family dog and when we lived in our house in a subdivision, everything was okay. He played fairly well with the two cats he was raised with. Fast forward to may when I lost my rental house and moved in with my parents, who own a 10 acre farm full of chickens, ducks, cats and….goats. Moro is confined to his XXL crate unless he is on the leash or supervised in one of the one acre pens. (My parents will not allow him in the house, despite their dog having house privileges, and Moro being housebroken). He is bored out of his mind, even with me giving him as much out time as possible between working overtime and looking after my 3 kids. I want him to go to a home who understands shepherds, especially ones with high prey drives. The other day he got out and nothing could persuade him from murdering the neighbor goat, besides me physically wrestling him off. It seemingly came out of nowhere and was honestly pretty scary. He deserves a better life…one not in a cage, one where maybe he could be a hunting dog where chasing and bringing down smaller animals is a good thing? I just want him to be happy and well taken care of, and not to accidentally take the life of someone else’s pet. If anyone is interested or has any good advice, please let me know! I love this boy and will cry a million tears once he’s gone…
