What is a good companion dog for a German Shepherd?
We have a two-year-old female German Shepherd (Luna) who is very sociable and loves to play with other dogs. However we cannot get another dog as large as Luna is because of the considerable damage that she has done to our home already. What is a good type of small to medium sized dog to pair with a German Shepherd, preferably one that is easily trained and is not too high energy?
Please be specific in your answer. Thank you!
Any. Dogs don't care. It's more about temperament. If they click they click. Take her to the shelter or Rescue so she can meet the available dogs. See who she gets along with best.

Every dog is different. Go down to your local shelter and pick out some dogs you find with a good temperment.
Then take Luna with you next trip and do a 'meet and greet'. The dogs will let you know.

Just reading between the lines, Varder, if Luna has done damage to your house, it might be a good idea to get her under control before you bring in another dog in.
Assuming that the damage was done in the past and Luna is now under control, try a Basset. Bassets are small, low key and they get along well with other animals. (As the others suggested, you'll want to do the "meet and greet" to pick out the particular Basset.)
Good luck!
