Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Matilda is a sweet senior girl who is currently thriving in a foster home, where she has proven herself to be a loving and easygoing companion. She lives peacefully with other dogs, walks nicely on leash, and enjoys the comfort of a quiet home environment. Matilda has a gentle nature and is the kind of dog who is happiest simply spending time with her people, making her a wonderful companion for someone looking for a calm and devoted friend. As a senior, Matilda does have some medical needs that her future adopter or rescue should be prepared to support. She has been experiencing periodic seizures and is currently under veterinary care, with recent adjustments made to her medication plan to help better manage them. She has also shown some mild weakness in one of her hind legs, which is being monitored by our veterinary team. Despite these challenges, Matilda remains comfortable, enjoys her daily routine, and continues to have a great quality of life. She is looking for a compassionate home willing to provide the ongoing care she needs while giving her the love, comfort, and security she deserves in her golden years.

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.
