Hello, my name is Maia. I am an absolutely gorgeous standard German Shepherd, at 61 pounds, I am a beauty. My personality: An energetic gal, I am very eager to learn more. As a shepherd, I am a working class dog, and I do already know "Down" and "Sit", but am happily eager to learn more and more new tricks. Toys are my favorite, a big stuffed animal to chew on and play with is everything I need to help me settle. A water dog, I love to play in any water I can dip my paws in: a puddle, a kiddie pool, anything to splash around in is perfect for me. My needs: I am a beautiful gal yes, but I am more than meets the eye. I have had a hard few months, and being in a shelter environment has not done me any good. A home with a relaxed, calmer household able to keep a consistent environment is what I need, too much stimulation and I get very nervous. Shepherd experience or similar would be best suited for me, someone knowing my caliber and what I need to help with anxiety is best. An adult only home is best for me, especially to keep with the calmer quieter home. With my anxiety, I do need to be an only animal to assist in calming my nerves. With my double coat, someone able to help maintain and keep it shiny and healthy would be great for me. If you have any further questions, please feel free to call GCHS 239-332-0364 and ask to speak to Adoptions.
