Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Hi, Iâm Ivy, your future adventure buddy! Iâm a sweet, social girl who loves greeting new people. I walk right up with a wag, soak up pets, and lean in for affection. Iâm easy to leash, love to explore, and I take my sniffing very seriously so I can pull a bit when Iâm excited, but I settle once I get my bearings. Iâm polite meeting other dogs and warm up quickly with a calm intro. In new spaces I check in with my person often, and once I trust you, Iâm all about quiet companionship and gentle affection. Iâm not big on toys or treats right now, but Iâm all heart. If youâre looking for a friendly, curious girl who wants a patient, loving home and plenty of walks, Iâm your match. Letâs go explore the world together.

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.
