Veteran is a little Shepherd puppy.  Judy rescued this litter of seven on Independence Day, so needless to say, they were all christened with patriotic names.  Adorable pups, they should be ready for the forever home by mid to late July.

7/19 Foster Update:
 I am fostering America, Veteran, and Liberty. Veteran is one sweet puppy! He is probably the biggest cuddler of the group, and he is definitely my husband's favorite! He loves to run and play, and he gets along great with my collie and aussie. He is also very smart! We have been working to potty train all the puppies, and today Veteran stood at the back door and whined when he needed to go out! We opened the door and he ran right into the yard and did he business, we were so proud! Veteran will be a great companion for people and dogs alike!

***According to dogbreedinfo.com, in April 1899, Capt. Max von Stephanitz registered a dog named Horan as the first Deutsche Schäferhunde, which means German Shepherd Dog in English. Known for their tremendous loyalty and courage, they are calmly confident, but not hostile. This breed needs his people and should not be left isolated for long periods of time. They only bark when it is necessary. Serious and almost human in his intelligence, they have a high learning ability. The breed is so intelligent and learns so readily that it has been used as a sheepdog, guard dog, in police work, as a guide for the blind, in search and rescue service, and in the military. The German Shepherd also excels in many other dog activities including schutzhund, tracking, obedience, agility, flyball, and ring sport. His fine nose can sniff out drugs and intruders, and can alert handlers to the presence of underground mines in time to avoid detonation, or gas leaks in a pipes buried 15 feet underground. A quick daily brushing is best unless hair in the house is not a problem. They should be bathed rarely, only once or twice a year to avoid skin oil depletion. Shepherds have a life expectancy around 13 years.
