Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Meet Chrissy Chrissy is a gentle Mama dog with the softest heart. She’s a sweet, easy walker who’s a little shy and timid right now, still trying to make sense of being back at the shelter. At first she’s unsure, but give her a little time—and a few kind words—and she starts to accept treats, lean in for cuddles, and show just how loving she truly is. Chrissy would thrive with someone patient and kind, someone willing to help her feel safe and comfortable. In a calm home environment, she’s sure to blossom quickly. Chrissy came to the shelter with her two puppies, and her devotion as a mama says everything about who she is. During a quiet moment, a volunteer gave Chrissy a toy just for herself. Instead of keeping it, Chrissy carried her “treasure” straight back to her puppies. That’s the kind of soul she has. Her puppies are grown now, and it’s finally Mama’s turn to be cherished, spoiled, and loved. Chrissy wants to be with her people and would also enjoy having another dog companion. She does have separation anxiety and struggles when left alone—she needs a home where someone is around most of the time. She would do best in a cat-free home. Chrissy has participated in shelter playgroups and may enjoy a compatible canine friend in her new home. She's also sharing her shelter suite with a friend she met at the shelter. Looking for a buddy for your dog? Bring him/her to the shelter for a meet and greet and see if we're a match! Check out her playgroup video here: To meet me, visit the Bradshaw Animal Shelter Tuesday-Sunday, Noon - 5:00 pm, Wednesdays, Noon - 6:00 pm. All adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis.

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.
