Sweetie and her siblings were all rescused from a high kill shelter!

 

Foster Update 7/1/10:  Other than potty training and a bit of shyness on Bubbles part they are ready for a forever home....   Both get along well with other dogs and are acclimating well to cats.  The are good with kids and love to play.  Both are slept in bed with us last night, and were very good.

Sweetie is the most social and is good to go into any type of adoptive home.  She comes to get love and would be fine being the only animal in the house.  

Bubbles is getting the idea that human love and affection is a good thing.  She prefers to be with other dogs and like to follow their lead.  She would be better being with a sibling or having another dog in the house.

 

***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.
