PANDA - GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG / PUG / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog / Pug / Mixed (medium coat). The petite 2 ½ year old shepherd mix, (possibly a "Shrug", Shepherd & Pug), named Panda is finally safe after being rescued twice and kissed a million times by the people that came along her rocky path to help her. She is available now for adoption. Panda was just a puppy on the streets and in a really bad situation until she was rescued “the first time” when she was just 4 months old by a very kind person that loves dogs, but he had about 15 dogs in a small apartment where the conditions were poor. Everyone is grateful that Panda was given shelter from a street life, but her situation still wasn’t ideal living with so many dogs and then being attacked by one of the dogs and suffering some severe bites to her forearms and chest just eight months before her final rescue and being fostered by Carla. Panda’s “first rescuer” played an important part in her journey, but now she can experience running and playing outside and she has the opportunity to live a wonderful happy life. Her foster mom Carla says that Panda knows the difference between her past and her life now. When she gets her “forever” home it will be a very happy ending and Carla says she will open her home to another rescue dog! ABOUT PANDA: She is a very sweet and smart dog with a great personality that has blossomed with love. She is gentle with people, kids and cats, but shy at the first meeting of other dogs until the play begins. When Panda hears baby-talk she smiles! It’s the way she moves her upper lip that is so cute and funny! Those of you old enough to remember the television series with the talking horse, “Mr. Ed” can imagine her smile! THE INTERVIEW PROCESS STARTS WITH YOUR EMAIL REPLY: To be considered to adopt Panda please email, founderanimalnetwork to begin the interview process; share about yourself, others that share the home, children’s ages, current pets and about the ones that you’ve had in the past and where they are now. Please include others, (relatives & significant others) that visit regularly, too. Each animal is different and our job is to make the best “pet-match” for a lifetime home and that is why what lifestyle you would plan for your new pet would be? Indoor only & outside for walks on a leash, indoor only and use puppy pads, outdoor in the yard day for the day & indoor night, indoor / outdoor through doggie door. As part of the adoption a 1-hour pet-parenting consultation will benefit pet-parents. Thank you, your answers will help Community Animal Network make the best pet-match. If Panda isn't a good match for your home and lifestyle there may be another animal that we would encourage you to meet. Or, use our "pet-match service" and wait to get the animal you really wanted.
