Valentina

German Shepherd Dog

Size

Story

*Courtesy Post for German Shepherd Rescue, Inc. Please contact them at www.gsrescue1.org for more information since she is not in our rescue.* Approximately 8 months old, Valentina is a Shepherd mix picked up as a stray in Chicago by CACC. She is a peanut at 38lbs! While she definitely should still have formal training, she is relatively easy to walk on leash and has great manners meeting dogs and people passing by. When on a schedule and supervised, she’s doing a good job working towards potty training and crate training, and can go overnight without a potty break. Vale learned “sit” in 5 minutes and will work for food! Little Valentina loves stuffed and chew toys and is very playful - by herself and with other dogs. She is currently being fostered with two adult shepherds (lovely dog manners), cats (relatively neutral) and older children (fun!) Vale is definitely still learning about the world and barks at strangers in the house or if she gets nervous. A little anxious in the car, but realizing little by little it comes with fun adventures, treats and quality time with people. Big time need to chew on things and needs some work with her puppy mouthing as she doesn’t have much bite inhibition, but she’s a sweet soul with a lot of energy and a lot of love to give!

Echo HW+

German Shepherd Dog

Female, 4 yrs 4 mos

Northbrook, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

I had the pleasure of taking Echo for a doggie day out and here is what I would like to say about her. Right when I picked up Echo she was happy go lucky! She had a bright energy to her and I knew she would be the perfect girl to embark on this hike with me. I took her home to my area in Millennium Trails where we went on a 10 mile walk. She was so happy! Sniffing all over and still have energy at the end of our walk. She did pull on the leash a little bit but that is expected being locked in a kennel and being out for the first time in probably a long time! She loved chasing the squirrels, sniffing the fresh air, and really loved this walk/hike. Echo would be the PERFECT dog for someone who really enjoys walking/hiking/running! She has energy for days and would be the perfect partner. I would advise no kitties due to her chasing the squirrels. Echo is a true gem! Please do not judge her by her kennel presence! She was the perfect lady in the car and in my home here are some photos to share! Oh yeah and she LOVES treats but who doesn't ! Ha!

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Henrietta, is lovingly referred to as Hazel by her fosters! Hazel came to our foster care first while her sister, Maddie, was finishing up some medications and treatment at Border Tails. Hazel is the more apprehensive and cautious of the two sisters and will take more time to warm up to you. But, once she warms up and gets familiar with her environment, she becomes your best friend and wants to be where you are and loves to be pet and brushed! Hazel is a very kind, sweet, and a very tolerant dog! She is not bothered by commotion within the house of other barking dogs, playing dogs, kids playing and being loud or playing. She will just lay there and watch and sometimes she will join in with other dogs to play! Hazel likes to chew on her dog toys and bones and is fully potty trained. She likes to have a dog bed to lay on and does not chew on things she should not! He knows how to sit and we are working on shake. She can be very playful with other dogs and likes to wrestle with our 25lb sheltie/heeler mix! She is very gentle when playing and knows her boundaries! There have been no signs of any type of aggression with Hazel, and she has been through a lot of different scenarios and situations within our household with our dogs and kids.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Maude is lovingly referred to as Maddie by her fosters. Maddie is the more brave and confident of the two sister, and she is willing to try things and explore more and warm up a bit quicker. Maddie came to us about a month after Hazel, and took less time to warm up to us here at her foster home. Maddie likes to be the boss and will let the other dogs know, as she likes to bark and initiate playing with them. She plays gently ,like Hazel does, but is more of an alpha than Hazel when she plays. However, Maddie listens very well to us and knows how to crate up, sit, and working on shake. Maddie likes to be in her crate when she is lounging around, as this is her safe spot. She likes to be in her crate when we are gone as well. Maddie is not aggressive in any way either, as she has been through as much as Hazel within our household with our dogs and kids. Maddie likes to chew on her toys and bones as well and likes to spend time outside with her sister! Maddie does have some health issues with her auto immune disorder, and is in need of someone to love on her just a bit more to help her live her best life. Currently she is on a few medications and will need to be on these the rest of her life as well as have a slightly customized diet to accommodate her health.
