Andy German Shepherd Dog Adult Female

Location:

Palos Heights, IL

Description:

Fostering in Pittsburgh, PA - transport available to her perfect person!2 years old, 45 lbs, spayed female UTD on vaccines, microchipped, & on monthly heartworm/flea/tick preventatives ✅ Good with men & women✅ Good with older children ✅ Good with other dogs (requires a companion)✅ Good with cats - housetrained - crate-trained; does not need to be crated, but needs a crate available as a safe space - shy with new people and takes a while to warm up; once she knows you, she is a sweetheart who will seek affection gently (licks your hand and wags her tail) - no small children as they are too much for her while adjusting to a new environment - will bark and retreat to her crate when unknown (to her) visitors come to your home - Relies heavily on other dogs when adjusting to change or interacting with something/someone new so she will require a confident canine companion - occasionally plays with the other dogs but is low energy herself and prefers dogs who are not constantly in her face seeking interaction - neutral with our cats and doesn't mind them sitting on the leather chair with her or grooming her coat - loves toys and will carry them around the yard or to her crate, she'll tell you she loves plush toys but she will also promptly tear them apart - walks well on leash when accompanied by a person & dog she trusts. Leashes/collars were a foreign concept to her when she arrived and it took her a while to be comfortable with them so she will likely regress a bit with a new family until trust is built. She still gets nervous at times but recovers quickly. She will now go to the door to be leashed with loose body language & a wagging tail when her collar is put on - will require a secure, physically fenced yard *Andy takes daily fluoxetine to help her manage her anxiety. It is about $20 every 2-3 months.*If you have any questions or would like to adopt Andy, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
