Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (long coat). Heidi is a beautiful, spayed German Shepherd with a playful spirit and a big heart. She walks well on a leash, enjoys getting out and about, and absolutely loves people. She came to the shelter through no fault of her own—her owner became very ill and had to leave her in boarding, and sadly Heidi never made it back home. Now she’s looking for a fresh start with a loving family who will cherish her as much as she deserves.

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.
