Bonifaz
 
Bonifaz is a male German shepherd mix, about 2 years old and weighing about 65 pounds. He seems to do fine with cats and with smaller dogs. He already knows how to sit and lay down, and is working on stay. He is a strong boy that likes to chase fast-moving objects, so his new family must be ready to work on leash manners with him.
