Adopted August 2005 Cisco was a 1-2 year old, neutered, male, black/tan, German Shepherd Dog. He was 77 pounds and extremely underweight. This big guy needed a home that had good home cooking. Cisco wasn't too interested in his photo session, though he was much perkier under playful circumstances. This giant boy would be an easy 100 pounds (probably larger) when he filled out his tall frame. Therefore, he needed a home with room and some brute strength. He was gentle and loving and very, very sweet and playful, but he was big.

A special thank you goes out to Cisco's sponsor: S. Blaho
