MYRTLE - GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog. Hi, I’m Myrtle—a gentle, soulful, plush coat German Shepherd with a heart that’s just starting to bloom. No one really knows how old I am, but I’m learning that age doesn’t matter nearly as much as feeling safe, loved, and connected. When I first arrived, I was pretty cautious. If another dog even looked at me sideways, I’d quietly back away. But my foster family believed in me—they gave me space, encouragement, and a little confidence boost. Now? I’m feeling brave, and even a little playful! I love being around other dogs, especially after I’ve had a chance to assess them in my own careful way. Once I know it’s safe, I’ll happily engage. I’m crate trained, housebroken, and know my basic commands: sit, down, wait, come, and stay. I don’t dig, and I don’t chew things I’m not supposed to. Leash walking is still a work in progress, but I’m eager to learn—especially if treats are involved! I’m also still getting used to riding in the car, but like everything else, I’m taking it one step at a time. My energy is moderate, but I might just be coming out of my shell. I love being right by your side, whether we’re training, walking, or just hanging out. I’m affectionate, mellow, and curious about the world. I’m also a little outgoing—sometimes I get so excited to meet new people that I jump up to say hi (I’m working on that!). My foster family says I’m a responsive, gentle companion who will form a deep bond with someone willing to spend time with me. If you’re looking for a loyal friend who will walk beside you through life (literally and figuratively), I might be your girl. Let’s get to know each other. I’ll be the one quietly watching, tail wagging, ready to trust again. Myrtle is a level 3 dog.
