Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Nikita is a young girl who is having a hard time with her energy level and arousal coming out of the kennel in the shelter. She has been jumping and biting at leashes and clothing, and we know that she needs a home where she can get regular exercise and enrichment activities. She is on our Call to Action list as we know that young working breed dogs have a hard time in the unpredictable kennels, and her behavior has limited her handlers to experienced volunteers and staff only, which also limits her out of kennel time. We would love to see this girl get into a home that can meet her physical and mental needs and let her show the gorgeous, playful girl that she is! For more information, please email animal.careventura, or come meet her during our open hours!

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.
