My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


Adopted her from Palms & Paws 29 Palms, CA 8m ago while pregnant. I now have a 3m old & am a single active duty military mom. She’s a 4yr old GSD/Lab/Boxer/etc (DNA test). Absolute sweetheart but has a bit of anxiety. VCA recommended possibly getting her started with anxiety meds. Not great with new people/dogs. LOVES playing with tennis balls & squeaky toys. She’s completed basic obedience training at Blue Barn Ranch in Yucca. She’s incredibly smart & knows plenty of commands. Crated trained. She needs more work on leash & currently uses a prong collar for pulling as I had to handle her while I was pregnant & now with a newborn. During an evening walk about a month ago, she nipped the back of my leg when she saw our neighbors but didn’t break skin. Made me realize that I don’t have enough time between work & my baby to give her the amount of attention she needs/deserves. She would do best in a no dog home & is very gentle with kids. Her OG owner lives 4 houses from me.
