ZELDA-COURTESY POST..SEE BELOW FOR OWNER'S EMAIL - GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (short coat). From her current owner, Leslie....Zelda is a rescue that I took into my home on July 7, 2022, at 15 months old. She will be 4 years old on April 24, 2025, she is AKC registered. She is an amazing dog, very sweet, loyal, loving, loves to snuggle and loves her belly rubbed. She does have some anxiety (I have her on Prozac per the vet in Indiana when we lived there). I Have her on a Milk Thistle nature supplement as she had low liver enzymes at one time. Her father is from Germany and not sure where her mother is from, but being she is AKC registered it should be able to be looked up. I have worked with Melissa/Sindar Kennels and she assessed Zelda. I have tried for almost three years to work with Zelda and hope that she would be a good fit for my home. She has been around my Remi/GSD 3 years old, fixed female and my 15-year-old Silky Terrier (she passed last July at 17 years old) and Zelda didn’t hurt her at all. The problem is that Zelda resource guards me, attacks Remi if Remi goes into my office, Zelda is startled will attack Remi. I just don’t think she is a good fit at my home. I have struggled over the last 2 years on what I want to do and I do believe that it is best for both GSD’s that Zelda get’s rehomed. I am not sure if she needs to be the only dog, because 90% of the time her and Remi are good, but as of the last year, Remi has got scared to drink water from a common place, go outside by herself and it just isn’t fair to either pup. If you know of someone that is looking to adopt a sweet GSD, please let me know. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING ZELDA, PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL TO: Leslie.Christenssen1va.gov
