Story
Ms. "Ice Cream" Sundae is ready for her forever home!
She definitely acts and looks like a German Shepherd! We think she's mixed with Australian Shepherd because of her markings/coloring, size, and eyes - she has blue marbling in both brown eyes. Oh so pretty!
Of her personality traits, the one that stands out the most is QUIRKY! As you can see from her photos, she loves finding little spaces underneath furniture to sleep. She is so silly, super playful, and gets along with dogs, cats, people, everyone. She is very respectful of the cats and dogs. She is being regularly exposed to horses, chickens, and even desert tortoises.
German Shepherd puppies tend to be little velociraptors, and while she is mouthy, she is fairly gentle. As with ANY puppy or new adult dog, regular supervision around young kids is necessary. Plenty of puppy teething toys = absolute must!
She is learning her name and does excellently with responding when called. Potty and kennel training in progress - she's doing great with both. She will whine and bark to be let out to go potty.
She should never be left alone for long periods of time - she has a strong velcro-personality. Her family MUST have another dog, and we're looking for a family that is very interactive with their dogs (ie hiking, beach/lake, socializing, lives indoors with family, etc). Also, this family must have experience with German Shepherds as they have breed-specific needs (ie training, socializing, grooming, etc).
Medical: She is dewormed, treated for fleas/ticks/lice, and received her first 2 DHPP vaccines as of 6/28. She is scheduled to be spayed in August, so she will be ready to go to her furever home at that time. At that point, she will be spayed, fully vaccinated with rabies, and microchipped.
Adoption fee of $250 helps us recoup out of pocket costs. We're a very small family rescue, so we don't receive grants or funding to help with the costs of caring for our rescues.
