Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 300. *This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.* Ms. Cardi brings the party! Always smiling, happy, and energetic. It's obvious Cardi once enjoyed a life of leisure as someone's loyal companion. You would never know she has just been through months of uncertainty, confined to a crate. That's not the life Cardi is accustomed to and despite the physical toll of starvation and neglect, she still loves life and wants to share it with as many friends as possible! Cardi is friendly with all people and dogs. She loves attention and wants to be included in family activities. Cardi is ready to go! She's confident and lives in the moment. Cardi eagerly participates in car rides, walks, games of tug, snuggling on the couch, and relaxing with a chew toy. She can be talkative when she's excited, but is not a barker. After her ordeal, Cardi feels most secure eating separately from other pets. She was previously housebroken and good in a crate. She will need patience while learning your routine and adjusting to being a cherished companion once again. Cardi is a senior but you wouldn't know by how she acts. Her only tell is the fabulous frosted face she is developing. Her coat is a beautiful black, soft and shiny, requiring regular brushing to manage her undercoat.

Expect occasional tune ups at the vet for oil changes (aka meds), and embrace the fact that those 'normal lumps and bumps' are just part of the well-earned charm package! Ruff Start will share all known health information with adopters and recommendations to keep your senior dog in top shape. Cardi is from a local shelter. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Sheprador, a popular crossbreed resulting from the union of a German Shepherd Dog and a Labrador Retriever, embodies many desirable traits from both parent breeds. Originating from designer breed efforts to combine the intelligence of the German Shepherd with the Labrador's friendly disposition, these dogs typically boast a medium to large build with a dense, weather-resistant coat that can range in color. Physically, they often exhibit the Shepherd’s strong bone structure and the Lab’s kind eyes. Temperamentally, Shepradors are generally intelligent, loyal, and trainable, making them excellent companions for active families. They thrive on human interaction and do best in homes with a yard, as their energy levels make apartment living challenging without significant daily exercise. While generally healthy, potential health considerations include hip and elbow dysplasia, common to both parent breeds, and eye conditions. Early socialization and consistent training are key to fostering a well-adjusted Sheprador.
