Uli has since grown up a lot. He is still a goofball and is full of energy. He'll normally greet us at the front door by jumping up on all fours like a Kangaroo. We have also moved to a new house with a larger backyard, which gives him plenty of space to run around and chase bunnies and squirrels. He loves to go on walks, car rides, and go anywhere we go. He's been a great addition to the family.

Adopted on September 11, 2000 This goofball was sweet and adorable! Uli was German Shepherd and what we think was Malamute. Uli was big with flying nun ears and a curly tail when he got excited. His match was made at a pet fair when the interested people brought their female (who usually didn't like other dogs) and she actually liked Uli! It was meant to be. Uli now has a family to play with, a nice house and yard and, of course, his female companion.
