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

Description

Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Meet Beans! Are you looking for a German Shepherd but don't want to deal with all of the hair and would prefer a smaller dog? Well luckily for you this 9 month old, pint size, pumpkin spice puppachino has all of the best qualities of a shepherd while only being 40 pounds! THAT'S RIGHT: A MINI GERMAN SHEPHERD! Don’t let her size fool you. Beans is full of energy so she needs a furry friend to play with, a (preferably 6 foot) fenced in backyard, or a VERY active family to get her puppy energy out. She loves to play with toys and will chew her nylabone to bits. She did not test well with cats at the shelter. Her coat is soft as mink and when she's in the mood, she will cuddle you whether you want her to or not. Being a puppy she must go outside every 4 hours when she's active and roams the house. She will hold it all night in her crate and when you're away at work, too. However, when she gets excited, she may pee a little if it has been too long since her last potty break. She is fully crate trained and loves to nap in there. Beans will even put herself to bed at night when she gets tired. Because she is still a puppy, she will need a family that will continue to work with her to curb her play nipping and jumping. Older children would be most appropriate for her until she learns not to get carried away with her puppy nips. She's so small she can't help it and just wants to see what you're doing!! With patience and training, she will understand four on the floor for sure. With solid structure and a house that's ready for this pumpkin SPICE, Beans will make a great addition to any family where she can be her silly goofy self. If you're interested in making this sweet, baby girl a member of your family, contact your adoption coordinator. If you do not yet jave an adoption coordinator, please complete an adoption application at .freedomgermanshepherdrescue. Beans is being fostered outside of Raleigh, NC.
