Description
Posted Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). ***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at .emmetcountyanimalshelter*** This pretty girl is Nova! She is the mom to the GSD/Mastiff pups. Nova came from a home of neglect for many years. She is very much a shepherd in personality and an experienced and patient owner would be what she needs to thrive! Nova is about 5 years old and for all of those years her life has lacked consistency, stability, a reliable food source. Even water was a resource that was limited. She has likely not always been treated kindly either and training was not a priority in her life. However, even given the challenges this girl has faced she is eager to love. She very much wants to do a good job and she is excited to see the people that have shown her gentle loving attention. Nova would probably do best as an only dog or with a confident gentle dog that could show her how things are done. Nova is cautious when meeting people for the first time but warms up quickly. The shelter environment does cause her some anxiety but we feel she would do wonderful on a schedule in a home where she understood what was expected of her in an environment that was focused on physical and mental exercises. She is gentle with toys and not destructive. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped. Her adoption fee is 275.00 It is Nova's time to shine....she just needs the right home to help her on the rest of her journey to a happy ever after!

Overview:
The German Shepherd Dog, a truly iconic breed, originated in Germany in the late 19th century, primarily for herding sheep. They are easily recognizable by their athletic, medium-to-large build, typically weighing between 50-90 pounds, with a distinct double coat that can be black and tan, sable, or solid black. Known for their intelligence and loyalty, German Shepherds possess a remarkably trainable and courageous temperament, making them exceptional working dogs in fields like police and service work. While generally good with families when properly socialized, their high energy levels and need for mental stimulation make them unsuitable for apartment living without significant daily exercise. Prospective owners should be aware of common health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as degenerative myelopathy, underscoring the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary care.
