Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog. Poor Mira was picked up as a stray in the Central Valley. On arrival at the shelter, she was emaciated and was noted to be diabetic. Mira immediately went on the euthanasia list, as the shelter does not have the resources to treat conditions like diabetes, and she was in poor condition already. Thankfully, a volunteer who has previously had diabetic animals saw the post, and Mira is now safely in foster care receiving the treatment that she needs. She is almost totally blind but bravely navigates new environments, trusting in her people to keep her safe. She gets along with other dogs and is learning about cats. Mira is a smart, happy dog who loves attention and thinks that she is a lap dog. If you are interested in learning more about this very special dog, please text 775-338-6631 or complete an adoption application online.

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.
