Whether you're celebrating National German Shepherd Day (May 10) or just need a pick-me-up with some smiling pups, you've come to the right place!

Eva and Her Fur Pile
Pet parents know this scene all too well. After only a few short minutes of brushing, it's like you have enough fur for a whole new dog! German shepherds have thick, double layered coats that are prone to shedding, so it's even more important for their owners to keep a regular grooming routine. You may just need to book an afternoon for the task.
Sebastian the Birthday Boy
Time to light the candles! Sebastian's first birthday bash included a matching bandana, banner, and birthday hat, as well as some adorable custom cookies. All he needs left for his big day is a dog-approved birthday cake.
Flash’s Floppy Ears
German shepherds are known for their signature perked-up ears. But in their first few months, German shepherd puppies sport floppy ears until around the time they finish teething. So German shepherd puppy owners: take all the photos with those adorable floppy ears while you still can!
Odin the K-9 Officer
While most K-9 or search-and-rescue dogs appear to be German Shepherds, many are actually Belgian Malinois (who would've thought?!). But Odin here is clearly proud to be a German shepherd K-9. And based on his Instagram posts, this good boy gets the job done right.
