Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog. DESCRIPTION: Mila was spotted running loose in the south. Knowing that the area she was in was unsafe, members of the community contacted animal control for help. Mila was picked-up and brought to animal control where she waited patiently for her family to come and claim her. Unfortunately, no one stepped forward for this little love. Shelter staff knew that Mila deserved an amazing forever home that would cherish her; however, with numbers significantly over capacity and adoption adoptions limited, they could not keep her off the list to be euthanized. Recognizing that Mila's only chance at survival was within the safety of a rescue, staff reached out to rescues for help. When MAGSR heard that Mila was out of options, we knew this sweet girl would be safe in our care. Magical Mila is a goofy, affectionate, and intelligent girl. As an adult shepherd, Mila is stable and well socialized. Although Mila has clearly known love at some point along her journey, we do not know how she found herself alone and wandering. We do know that Mila is special. As a deaf dog, Mila has been navigating her world without sense. Intelligent and beyond excited to learn, Mila has been fortunate to have been placed with one of our training partners - Mason Dixon K9. With daily training, opportunities to continue to socialize, and plenty of time to play, Mila is thriving. It is highly evident that this girl is special. Although we do not know what experiences Mila may have had in a household, we do know that she is ready to learn. With structure, routine, and leadership, Mila will meet with success. She is already learning about crate training as well as basic leash manners. Mila is looking for an amazing family that will provide her with daily exercise, plenty of toys, and endless cuddles. If you are looking for an affectionate girl who will love you for a lifetime, look no further than Mila!

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.
