White House Confirms President Biden’s German Shepherd, Commander, is No Longer on the White House Campus

The White House has confirmed that President Joe Biden’s German shepherd, Commander, is no longer on the White House campus. Commander has been involved in a number of biting incidents, some of which required medical care.

A spokesperson for First Lady Jill Biden, Elizabeth Alexander, said in a statement Wednesday evening that the family dog is “not presently on the White House campus while next steps are evaluated.” Alexander also said that the President and First Lady “care deeply about the safety of those who work at the White House and those who protect them every day.”

The Biden family is reportedly still determining what will happen next for the 2-year-old German shepherd. Commander’s history of biting became public in recent months, prompting the White House to take action.

The White House has not yet released any further details on the situation, but they remain grateful for the patience and support of the U.S. Secret Service and all involved as they continue to work through solutions.
