Adopted!

Straight from the shelter and into foster care, not too much is known about her at this point. We're estimating her age at 1 - 2 years, and she weighs in at a dainty 50 pounds, though she could stand to gain another 10. Once she fills out a bit, she'll be quite a nice sized girl, not too small and not too big. Just right! She has an absolutely WONDERFUL temperament and rides very well in the car. She has loved everyone she has met...men, women, children and other dogs and is currently residing with a 9-year-old girl and a 100 pound, 2-year-old German Shepherd brother. She does seem somewhat "interested" in our horses, but no barking...just an intent stare! No experience with cats as of yet. Her first afternoon with us, we had to slip in to PetSmart for some supplies and she was quite the social butterfly, greeting everyone with a wagging tail and doggie kisses. She's currently sacked out asleep on the floor with her foster brother, recovering from her trip! No house-training accidents as of yet, and she has not yet been crated, so updates will come on that. She walks pretty well on the leash with just a bit of exploratory pulling. She does have a habit of wanting to jump up to greet you and she also thinks she's a 50 pound lap dog and is quite content to crawl into your lap and sit ... or the couch. She LOVES the couch!! We're going to work with her on greeting people while sitting, but she seems very trainable and is quite eager to please. She would be a wonderful companion to anyone, either as an only dog or a playmate for your pooch. If you have an approved applicant that sounds like a good match, please feel free to email us at savingshepherds@yahoo.com. ACAVA VGSR Tag #1961 Adopted: 03/06/08.
