MINDIE - GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog. Join us in welcoming Mindie! She is a lovely and affectionate 9-month-old girl who greets people with ease, always seeking pets and offering plenty of snuggles along with sweet kisses. Aside from a small amount of hair loss on the tips of both her ears and a scab above her eyebrow, she is in excellent shape after having wandered around on her own for a while. Mindie has settled in nicely in her foster home and has fully integrated with the resident shepherds. However, we are encouraging her to have more downtime than usual, as we want her to heal properly from her spaying last week. Surprisingly for her age, she is good at loose-leash walking and focusing on her person. People fascinate her, and she loves to greet them when they appear friendly during her walks. This little one is also curious about things on the counters, admires her reflection in the mirrors, and enjoys jumping on her people for attention. Although Mindie needs some encouragement to enter her crate, she settles in quickly for naps and sleeps for about 7 hours at night before needing a potty break. Aside from a couple of accidents on her first day, Mindie has learned that going outside is the preferred option for potty breaks, and her foster family is learning her needs and schedule. Agile and sturdy, she likes to walk on benches in her yard and bounce off them while keeping up with her friends. After receiving a few corrections for being rude from the older shepherds, she has adjusted her speed and shows them the respect they require. Her appetite has recently improved, and she is enjoying her meals. Mindie is one of those shepherds who goes potty fairly quickly after eating, making it easy for her when taken to the designated potty area. Currently, she enjoys running with the other dogs while they play, but we expect that in a few days, we will see which toys she gravitates toward. We are happy to have her in our care, where she can be cherished and loved as we get to know her better to help find her the perfect forever family. Have you checked out our YouTube channel?
