I have a German Shepherd dog that is 9 months old, but he is looking small. How I can get him bigger?

Contact the registered licensed breeder you purchased the animal from and in the best interest of their kennel prefix they will assist you. Alternatively if bought from a "back-yard breeder" or "pet-shop" don't expect any assistance.
First off, when you bought you dog, I hope you made the purchase from a reputable breeder and not from a pet store, as most of those dogs have origins from puppy mills. While at the breeder's kennels, you would have the opportunity to see the parents. Were either of them small ? You never said whether your dog was a male or female as generally females are about 10 to 15 lbs lighter than their male counterparts.
German Shepherds normally reach physical maturity at 18-24 months. Curiously, some of lines mature even more slowly and do not reach full maturity until 36 months of age. Generally their growth rate slows noticeably at 6 months and continues minimally for about 1 additional year.
