Online Cat Adoption Application

Zippy and her siblings came to us from a high kill shelter and are now looking for wonderful forever homes!

Foster Update: Zippy is the tallest of the puppies. She is brindle in color with large ears that stand very erect all the time. She is a really nice puppy. She is very playful with her siblings, toys and our dogs. They enjoy playing in the yard and investigating everything. She eats dry puppy food and I recently added canned dog food. They would not eat canned dog food when we first got them.

Foster Update:  She is a very active girl. She is very playful and loving . She is growing. She is the largest of the litter. Zippy loves her treats. I feed her primarily dry puppy dog food (veterinarian formula) twice a day. I add canned dog food at the side.  Of course she can eat all day long. She sleeps in a crate at night. She is in the process of potty training.

***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.
