EVIE - GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: German Shepherd Dog. DESCRIPTION: The Kentucky Six - Diego, Champ, Serena, Peanut, Evie, and Yogi - are cruelty and neglect survivors. Living in inhumane conditions, starved, and used as breeding stock, the Kentucky Six managed to make it off the property alive when the right people heard about their conditions and got the authorities involved. All six dogs were confiscated and brought to a shelter where they waited for the chance to find kind and loving families of their very own. Although shelter staff worked hard to make sure that all six dogs began getting the care and attention they deserved, they recognized that with shelters at capacity and adoptions limited, these six precious souls may not have the chance to find their forever families. They began working with local groups and started networking the dogs in hopes that rescue placement would be found. Fortunately, their message made its way to MAGSR. Our incredible team knew that this group of dogs was very special, so we began putting plans in place to welcome the Kentucky Six to the MAGSR family. Although Evie's life was filled with endless challenges and suffering prior to her confiscation, she continues to seek out attention and affection from her people. Intelligent and confident, Evie is the alpha female of the group. She likes to know what all is happening and doesn't appreciate too much goofing around. Although she has lived with several other dogs, Evie likes to be in charge and will maintain her status with the pack. Slow and proper introductions are best. Although she has endured a lot of suffering, Evie remains a sweet and lovable lady. Sometimes we are simply astonished by the resilience of dogs that have been through so much trauma but are still friendly and interactive. As is true of all shepherds, Evie will thrive when provided with structure, routine, and leadership. In many ways she is still in the beginning stages of her new life. She will need time to adjust to new people, environments, and expectations. However, given patience and opportunities to learn, we are sure that Evie will continue to discover the joys of being a beloved member of a family. We do not know if Evie has had much experience living in a household. Clear rules and boundaries will help her settle into his new home. Training will also go a long way for this lovely lady. Not only will training help Evie develop a strong, healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to become a good canine citizen. Unfortunately, we have learned that all of the Kentucky Six are heartworm positive. This could have easily been avoided with a monthly heartworm preventative. Evie is just beginning treatment. However, she is already handling her protocol like a rockstar. Although heartworm treatment is expensive, MAGSR will cover the entire cost of her care. Please consider donating to Evie's care as it will not only help Evie continue to move forward, but it will also help us continue to welcome dogs with medical needs. Evie is looking for a forever family that will cherish her for a lifetime. If this lovely lady sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!
