DEEBEE - GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 450. Hi, I’m Deebee (also called Gilly)! I came from a reservation in beautiful northern Minnesota, where I lived outdoors with other dogs and had lots of canine playmates—something I really miss. Moving indoors was scary at first (I wouldn’t even cross the threshold!), but I’ve made great progress. Stairs are still confusing, though. I was mostly around men before, so I tend to gravitate toward them first, but I like women too—I just need a little time to get used to softer voices. I’m learning basic commands like “come” and “sit,” and I do best with calm guidance since loud noises or raised voices scare me. I’m fully house-trained as long as I have access outside and do so well that I stay loose in the house on a schedule. I’m a big, strong boy at about 69 pounds. I haven’t been on walks yet, but I’d love an active family who can help me learn. I peacefully ignore the resident cat, though I’d really prefer not to live with small, snarky dogs. My dream home would have a medium or large dog to play with, a securely fenced yard, and active adults or older kids who enjoy hikes, belly rubs, ear scratches, regular meals, and a warm place to call home. I don’t think that’s too much to wish for. DeeBee is from a local reservation. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.
