Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). If you're interested in adopting any SGSR dog, please read about our Adoption Process and fill out an Adoption Application. Visit our website for more information, including Frequently Asked Questions. Hi everyone! We would like to introduce you to Mia who is approximately 5 months old. She is an energetic five -month-old puppy who absolutely loves to be near her people . She came into the rescue in January after being found as a stray. Luckily, she was found by a good Samaritan who reached out to SGSR for help in giving her a second chance at life . Mia is g reat with people, kids, and other dogs . However, she can be a bit skittish at first. Although she prefers to be wherever her 2-legged pack members are, she does well in the crate and is about 9 9 % potty-trained. She will verbally alert you when she needs to go outside, or she will go directly to the door to let you know its time . She is so smart that she will jump on the bed to wake you up if she has business to do in the middle of the night. When her paw hits your head or you feel frantic kisses on your face, Mia is telling you that it is time to go. Mia loves her stuffed babies, balls, and other chew toys . Like a typical puppy, she is curious and occasionally grabs things she shouldn’t to drag around the house (socks, dish towels, etc.). Her favorite pass time is playing with her 4-legged foster siblings, especially her 8-month-old brother. They can get rather rambunctious! At the end of the day, she does appreciate her downtime! And while she has comfy beds in several room of the house, no bed is as good as her foster M om and Dad bed . That’s her go-to safe spot! Mia does great in the car so she will be ideal for a family that loves outdoor adventure . As with any GSD puppy, s he requires structure , exercise and discipline. She can be a little mouthy when she is at her peak energy and when visitors enter the house , but it is only temporary as she corrects easily . She knows a few basic commands such as sit, down, out, etc. She is one of the sweetest cuddle bugs and knows how to use her eyes to get your attention . Our hope is that her new family will have a fun , energetic dog s he can interact with, and that they will continue to make sure s he grows up as a well-socialized, friendly GSD! She would like it even better if she could go to a family that is home more often then away. Mia is microchipped and up to date on her shots. If you feel you have the time, love and patience that Mia absolutely and unconditionally deserves, please contact your adoption coordinator or complete an online application at our website. She is being fostered in Roanoke , V irginia area. Our adoption process consists of a telephone interview, a call to your veterinarian and a home visit. If you have any questions about the adoption process please contact sgsrtreasurergmail .

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.
