Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Sweet, beautiful, playful Aster was found as a stray covered in corrosive blue pigment used for wood staining! Our vets have her on pain meds, dealt with her dermatitis and allergies, and removed a mass. Our sweet girl is recovering so well and is described by our volunteers as `so perfect.` Report on Aster's day out with a volunteer: Aster and I had a great day walking downtown yesterday! She is so good in the car, jumping right in with no encouragement needed. We took several laps around the craft fair downtown, calmly meeting new people and meeting dogs with no troubles. She is so playful, and she really enjoyed `fetch` in Central Park (I ran with her so she stayed on leash). We walked more around my neighborhood after meeting my family. She has a medium to low prey drive, only chasing one squirrel but leaving rabbits alone. Her number 1 priority while walking is finding food on the ground, so I watched her closely to make sure she didn't gobble anything up. She only got nervous and backed away from meeting one person, but I kinda get it because he was dressed as Santa with a big red suit and black gloves! Even so, she just politely stepped away. She's a very good girl! She also took an office day trip and it was reported `she was one of the best office daytrip dogs ever!` To make an appointment to meet Aster, please go to yoloshelter/adopt. You'll be happy you did. All animals are up-to-date on vaccinations (including rabies if over 4 months old), microchipped, and spayed or neutered. All dogs have been been vaccinated with DHPP and Bordatella (kennel cough) and heartworm tested negative (if over 6 months). All cats have been vaccinated with FVRCP and current on flea control.

Overview:
The German Shepherd Dog, a truly iconic breed, originated in Germany in the late 19th century, primarily for herding sheep. They are easily recognizable by their athletic, medium-to-large build, typically weighing between 50-90 pounds, with a distinct double coat that can be black and tan, sable, or solid black. Known for their intelligence and loyalty, German Shepherds possess a remarkably trainable and courageous temperament, making them exceptional working dogs in fields like police and service work. While generally good with families when properly socialized, their high energy levels and need for mental stimulation make them unsuitable for apartment living without significant daily exercise. Prospective owners should be aware of common health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, as well as degenerative myelopathy, underscoring the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary care.
