My name is Essie!

Essie is an incredible dog who deserves a home that can meet her energy and attention needs. She is a Fawn Dutch Shepherd, a little older than 1, and full of love, loyalty, and enthusiasm.
We welcomed Essie into our lives before we knew we were expecting, and while we had hoped to make it work, we’ve realized that with two little ones, we just don’t have the time and attention she truly deserves. She thrives in an active environment and needs a family or individual who can keep up with her high drive and give her the structure, stimulation, and engagement she craves.
Would do best in a home with experience handling high-drive dogs – She needs structure, consistency, and plenty of outlets for her energy. She was attacked as a puppy so she is a bit reactive at first when she meets dogs but can warm up.We want to ensure she goes to the right fit, so we will be very selective
