Cherokee

Adopted!

Look up "Cherokee" in Websters and you find the following defination: "Large, well-behaved, gentle, good-natured, gorgeous, female, German Shepherd looking for a great forever home ". OK, that may be a stretch, but it certainly describes this wonderful girl perfectly ! Cherokee recently came to VGSR from Spotsylvania animal shelter where she was found wandering as a stray. She was dirty and smelly and about 15 lbs. overweight when she arrived. After a full checkup and clean bill of health (she did test positve for limes disease but had no symptoms and has finished her antibiotic treatment), she has settled quickly into her foster home. Her foster dad reports that she is loving, gentle, well behaved, great with kids and other dogs and walks well on a lead. She is more of a lounge girl than a fetcher/player (fetch what ?? I'd rather sit here next to you, thank you very much !) but she is getting more playful with each passing day. With a few shampoo makeovers and some diet control, she has blossomed into a very gorgeous 85 lb. girl that is just right for her good size. Everyone that has met her comments on how well behaved and easy to handle she is. Why anyone would leave her for stray is a huge mystery to us at VGSR's but here is a chance to adopt a great girl that can go to any good home - especially a first time GSD owner. Adopted: 10/04/05.
