Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Sheila is a funny, playful, affectionate 7 month old Doberman Pinscher/German Shepherd mix puppy who is full of spunk and personality! She can be a bit timid with new things at first, but her true self comes out within minutes! Sheila weighs about 40lbs currently and will likely be about 60lbs fully grown (look at those giant paws!)
Sheila was found as a stray and brought to our local high kill shelter where she was placed on the euthanasia list for being scared. Shy, scared dogs usually face a bleak outcome at our severely overcrowded shelters, and that's the way it was looking for poor Sheila. Luckily, we were able to rescue her and have gotten to see what a sweet girl she is!
Sheila has a lot of that standard puppy energy you see in dogs her age, but she knows how to reel it back in if she's starting to get too crazy. Being part Doberman and German Shepherd, Sheila is a very intelligent girl and learns quickly. She is a goofy and affectionate little girl and loves to cuddle and be pet! Sheila plays very well with other dogs and seems to get along with just about everyone. She can be a little forward sometimes which can be intimidating to some dogs, but she takes corrections well and is learning to be calmer around the dogs who are more shy.
Sheila is crate trained, mostly potty trained, walks fairly well on a leash, is good with other dogs, kids, and people of all kinds. She would prefer to have a canine sibling in her new home, but this is not required for her to love her happiest life. All she really needs is a family to call her own and lots of love!
Sheila is located in Houston TX but can be transported to most US states for adoption.
