Forest and her buddy Lake came from a local kill shelter, they were set to be put down as their time was up! They are so sweet and loving we couldn't help but save them!

Forest will do best in an adult home with an experienced owner.  She is a sweet girl and, just will need the structure and training to grow up to be a great dog.

8/1 Foster update:  FOREST gets along well with my other dogs and cats. He did well at my dad's house and at the dog park with the people and animals. He is a very smart little guy and is almost house-trained. Rarely chews on things~~I think he'd be great with any family. 

***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.
