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

Description

Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Momo led our ACO on a merry chase, during which she injured herself, and then gave up the chase to receive medical care. Momo's paws are not scraped anymore and she is walking well again, but she is still uncomfortable with a lot of handling. Momo enjoys interacting with people and will likely continue to slowly open up to those she feels safe with. OTHER PETS: Momo met other dogs and was playful with them. She will set boundaries when she's uncomfortable with an interaction and she does not escalate, she simply gives clear signals. Momo will likely get along with other dogs who are either low key, or a little more energetic as long as playmates are respectful - she should meet any dogs she would be living with prior to adoption. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)] OWNER EXPERIENCE: Someone who has experience with both positive reinforcement and active, engaging dogs would be best suited to help keep Momo's mental and physical needs met. [Very Experienced] KIDS: Momo is very intense with her food and ideally would be fed separately, possibly in her own crate once acclimated, to help her feel safe during mealtime. Momo should not live with humans who will not respect her need to be left alone while eating. Momo is uncomfortable with some handling but enjoys interacting with humans - this enjoyment does not mean she will not feel someone is a threat to her food. [15+ (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Momo is an intelligent dog with a good amount of energy and lots of curiosity. She would be best served with a mix of regular exercise, plenty of mental enrichment, and adventures with her guardian/s when appropriate. [Olympic Athlete] VETERINARY CARE: [Routine] GROOMING: [Routine Brushing] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Momo bond with her new owner, build confidence, and help her learn new skills and tricks to keep life interesting. Momo has demonstrated the skills `sit` and `paw` so she's already learned a trick or two. [Moderate]
