Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog / Belgian Shepherd Dog Sheepdog. Hi! I'm Athena, a bundle of joy packed with energy and smarts. Every day, I impress my friends here with my quick learning and friendly wags. I love solving puzzles and playing fetch; it keeps my mind and body sharp! I'm looking for a family who loves fun as much as I do and appreciates a clever companion. Adopting me means endless adventures and unconditional love. Let's make wonderful memories together! Special Needs: As you can see, I have one fewer leg than most of the other pets here at the shelter with me. But I still have a lot of love to give! Can you give me a chance? The nice folks at the SPCA can tell you all about me and my history.

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.
