Online Cat Adoption Application

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

Foster Update:  Zeal is a very pretty little girl with big ears that stand up straight.  She is very friendly and playful. She likes to play with her siblings, toys and our grown dogs. She enjoys playing outside in the yard.  She has more black in her coat than the other puppies.  She is fed Veternary Formula dry dog food. I recently added some canned dog food, and she seems to like the dry dog food best.

Foster Update: Zeal is a little shy at times. She can be the target of the other puppies to pile onto at times. She can defend herself well. She loves playing in the yard with her siblings and our other dogs. She sleeps in a crate at night. She tends to be the loudest to objecting when first put in the crate.  Zeal is in the process of potty training.  She eats primarily dry food (Veterinarian Puppy Formula). I add puppy canned food at least once a day. She loves her doggy treats. She is really sweet.

***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.
