Story
Meet Susie, the Sweet and Spirited German Shepherd Mix Looking for Her Forever Home!
Susie is a beautiful 8-month-old German Shepherd mix weighing about 45 pounds, with a heart as big as her puppy energy. This little survivor’s story is one of resilience. Found as a stray and brought to an overcrowded shelter, Susie waited, hoping someone would come for her. Sadly, no one did. The shelter was beyond capacity, and Susie’s future was uncertain—until she was rescued and given the chance to start fresh.
Now, Susie is thriving in her foster home and learning what it means to be a beloved family member.
Why You’ll Fall in Love with Susie:
A Smart Pup in Training: Susie is doing wonderfully with her house and crate training and is eager to keep learning! She’d thrive in a home committed to formal training, where she can channel her intelligence and energy.
Dog, Cat, and Kid Friendly: Susie is a social butterfly who loves everyone she meets—whether they’re furry friends or kids ready to play.
Affectionate and Adaptable: Susie is still very much a puppy, full of curiosity and love. She’d make an excellent second dog, benefiting from a confident canine companion to guide her. With her gentle nature, she could also be trained as a therapy dog or fit right into a family dynamic.
Active and Playful: Susie would love a home that provides plenty of exercise and opportunities to explore, whether that’s long walks, hikes, or backyard adventures. She’s also more than happy to snuggle up once the fun is over.
What Susie Needs:
Susie is looking for a family who will provide her with structure, love, and training to help her grow into the incredible dog she’s destined to be. She’s still a puppy and will need guidance and patience as she learns, but her sweet and eager-to-please personality makes her a joy to work with.
Why Susie Deserves This Chance:
Abandoned and left to fend for herself at such a young age, Susie’s life could have turned out so differently. Now, she’s ready to leave her past behind and start a new chapter with a family who will cherish her for the amazing dog she is.
