Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog. Meet Java! Java is a 4-year-old German Shepherd with a big personality, a playful spirit, and a heart ready for her forever home. She’s an active, intelligent girl who thrives on engagement and adventure—especially long walks (bonus points if you let her proudly carry a toy the entire way!). Java is primarily seeking an only-dog home with shepherd experience. While she has lived with other dogs in the past, the shelter environment has affected her comfort level. If a home were to include another dog, they would need to enjoy rough-and-tumble play, respect her hind-end sensitivity, and be similar in size. When meeting new people, Java may greet you with a big, loud bark—but she has yet to meet a stranger she didn’t like, especially if they offer treats and explore the outdoors with her. Java came to us experiencing urinary incontinence, and we’ve been working closely with our veterinary team to support her every step of the way. After months of appointments, consultations, and referrals, we now have a plan in place. She is scheduled for a specialist consult in August, and the current recommendation is a corrective procedure to address the underlying cause of her incontinence. We're hopeful it will allow her to go on to live a normal life, though she may still require medication as part of her long-term management. The good news? Java isn’t constantly leaking, and her incontinence isn't her fault. More frequent bathroom breaks or pee pads on her dog beds help manage it. We are committed to covering Java’s veterinary care as she moves through this process and are incredibly grateful for the support of our community in making that possible. Java may need a little extra help, but more than anything, she deserves to be comfortable in a home of her own. Current Weight: 80lbs Adoption fee: $250 To apply: fcrspca/adopt/

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.
