Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog. Kimmie was saved the day before she was scheduled to be euthanized at a crowded high-kill shelter, where she arrived with an unknown history. By the time WARF accepted her, after three weeks in the shelter, Kimmie had lost a shocking 15 pounds of weight. At the sanctuary, she still refused to eat and brightened up only when she could be around people. Kimmie continued to lose weight and appeared dangerously depressed until a foster home was found, and she has finally begun to regain her health and vitality. Even now, Kimmie goes to the front door regularly to peer out and appears to be searching for someone. We believe that Kimmie lost her family for an unknown reason, and with all of the loyalty that German Shepherds are known for, she continues to look for them. She is friendly to everyone, good with cats and other dogs, doesn't bark, walks nicely on leash, is housetrained and in general a joy to be around. Could you be Kimmie's next great love? Please give this wonderful dog a second chance. She is waiting for you! Call Sam 775-338-6631 or complete an online adoption application.

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.
