SARA - GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Hi! My name is Sara and I am a 3 year old, 52 pound, silver/black shepherd girl! ! I have finally beaten the skin infection that I contracted shortly after I was born and am now ready to find my forever home. You see, Freedom GSR has been my life saver. When they took me in I had a horrible wound to my forehead that just refused to heal; apparently my doggie mom was a little too aggressive with her grooming. Now I’m left with this cute little mohawk in between my ears! Anyhow Freedom has done everything possible to get that very stubborn wound to heal! It took years of antibiotics, ointments and laser therapy to get it done. I have spent a long time at the animal hospital while recovering and look forward to new adventures with my new family! I would love to have a house with a yard to run around in. I used to live with several dogs before I was hospitalized. It has been a while since I have lived with any, so I don't know how to act any more. Sometimes I think I would be best as the only dog in the home. When I meet new dogs, I will bark at them but that is my way of telling them I want to play and they need to come over and say "Hi!" to me. I previously lived on a farm with goats, ferrets, pet rats, fish and a gecko and didn't mind them. I will, however, chase cats. I really haven't been tested with small kids so I have no idea how I will do but think I may be better with older children so I don't get overstimulated. Because of my medical needs I haven't been able to get out and about much but I have been out hiking and that was a lot of fun! I also loved to wade in the pond at the farm and splash in the water! I am not sure about swimming yet but that may come in time. A six foot fenced yard would be great to have. I am also VERY good at the vet's office! Sometimes I don't like what they are doing, but everyone in the office thinks I am the best behaved girl and love to give me kisses! If you would like to have a fun sized, rough and ready Princess, then I am your girl! I am being fostered outside of Raleigh, NC. If you would like to add me to your family, please reach out to your adoption coordinator. If you do not yet have an adoption coordinator, please complete an adoption application at .freedomgermanshepherdrescue.
