If you think good things come in small packages, then I just might be the girl for you! Weighing in at almost 50 lbs, this is as big as I get. I guess you could say I'm kind of a mini German Shepherd, and may always look like a puppy! My foster Mom is working on helping me gain a few pounds, as I am just a little bit underweight, but I love my new food, so that should be easy. I do have to have grain free food, but it is not any more expensive than any good dog food, and I really don't eat that much anyway!
I would be a perfect apartment dog, but wide open spaces and a nice big yard to romp in would be fine, too! I love to go on walks, and do very well on a leash. I am learning basic commands, and to NOT jump on my foster Mom, but I am so happy to see her I just can't help myself. With a little more work, I won't do that anymore. I just want to please and love everyone; even cats are fine with me! So, get your app in now!
NOTE: In our experience many German Shepherd Dogs are very good with kids. In our bios, we may provide information on our experience with a particular dog and children. However AGSDR discourages ALL unsupervised animal/child interaction. Children should be supervised at all times when they interact with ANY animal, whether it is a horse, dog, cat, bunny, lizard, or any other species. Even loving household pets can have a grumpy day, or otherwise get tired of a child's attention, so proper supervision is essential for the well being of any child and any pet.
The entire biography of this dog is based solely upon our volunteers' experiences with the dog. The dog's age and weight are estimates, and statements about the health, temperament, training, and ability to get along with other animals, children, cats and other dogs, are estimated solely based on our volunteer's experiences with this dog. Your experiences with this dog may be quite different than those of our volunteers.
