Story
German Shepherd, 22 months – Seeking Experienced Home Sweet, affectionate 22-month-old German Shepherd looking for the right home. She is gentle with our kids but is very boisterous, and forms strong bonds. Fully house-trained and crate-trained. She has a sensitive stomach, so diet needs consistency to avoid gastrointestinal upset. She is reactive to other dogs and currently wears a muzzle on walks, so she requires an experienced, confident handler willing to continue training. She can be destructive if left unsupervised and does best in a home where someone is around most of the time. Smart and loving, but needs structure, boundaries, and attention. Will steal food if given the chance. Best suited to an experienced owner, preferably breed experienced, in a pet-free home and ideally child-feee home. In the right environment, she will be a loyal and rewarding companion.

Hey there! My name is Veronica, and I’m a big sweetheart with so much love to give. I absolutely adore attention and being around people it makes me the happiest girl! I’m currently working on my “sit,” and I’m doing really well with it. I’m a smart pup who enjoys learning, especially when I get lots of praise and encouragement. I’ve also been making lots of new friends here, and I’m enjoying every minute of itwhether it’s meeting new people or spending time with other dogs, I’m always excited to socialize and have fun. As much as I’m loving my time here, what would truly make me happiest is finding my forever home. I’m ready to share all my love, loyalty, and joyful energy with a family of my own. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate companion, I just might be the perfect match for you

Story
This loveable boy is very shy and insecure of his environment. He can have a startle response at times and is a potential flight risk. He is looking for a calm and patient home to slowly work on building his confidence and helping him understand that the world is not so scary. Don`t mistake his fear though, he warms up very fast to his people and craves contact often leaning in to his person for safety and security. We are still learning about him and believe that once he is more comfortable he will be more energetic and playful. A private consult with a CPDT trainer will be required with his adoption.Size: Medium 41.2 kg / 90.64lbsChildren: Adult only home pleaseCats: Unknown- Slow introductions recommended Dogs: May do best with dogs of similar size and playstyle
