KEILA - GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG / PIT BULL TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog / Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed. Keila orignally came to TTRR on 2/24/2024 from ACCT Philly and was adopted out shortly after. She was recently returned to her foster home with TTRR, after being with her adopter for about a year. Unfortunately, we have learned that Keila is very uncomfortable around men, and despite the family's best efforts, she continues to demonstrate fearful behaviors with men in the home. Due to this, it was ultimately decided that it was not fair to Keila or the family, and she was returned. Keila does very well with other dogs and her previous owner noted that other dogs actually boost her confidence, so she may do best in a home with another confident, friendly dog. Her previous owner also shared that she is "fully recall and leash trained. She is awesome on walks and off a leash. She knows a bunch of tricks (spin, roll over, she loops between my legs, etc)…she knows stay, leave it…etc." Keila lived with young children and did very well with them, however will need a home without men. Keila likes hiking and is an active, bright, happy 2 year old pup. Keila is spayed, microchipped and UTD on vaccinations. She will need an experienced dog owner who is comfortable continuing to work on her training. Keila does have a recorded bite from September of 2024, which was determined to be due to a fear response. Her behaviors have improved after starting anxiety medication and TTRR has continued training support available even after adoption. Notes from Keila's spring 2024 foster stay: Keila came to us from one of our partner shelters in Philadelphia, where she had been surrendered by previous owners that were moving out of state and could not bring her. She is a friendly puppy that likes to play and is good with other dogs, she has adapted to many big changes in her life very well, and was instantly more relaxed after leaving the noisy kennels of the shelter. Keila is essentially a giant puppy, yet has good body awareness when playing with dogs much smaller than she is. She does get a little stressed during car rides but settled down after realizing that she was safe. Her previous owners noted that she "loves watching cartoons, loves her ball and her blanket" and overall enjoys snuggling with her people. Keila is currently being fostered near Sloansville, NY and is available for meet and greets if you are interested in getting to know this beautiful girl.
