Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (short coat). I did not mean to follow him at first. I was scared and exhausted from being alone, yet something about him felt safe. I stayed on the porch even though I was not ready to be touched, choosing to observe rather than run, and slowly I learned that his kindness showed up as a gentle approach. As I grew more secure, my real personality emerged—I am playful, energetic, and deeply devoted to my daily walks and squeaky toys. I love learning, already know how to sit, and am proudly mastering “paw,” especially when praise is involved. I walk well on a leash, interact nicely with other dogs, and although I am still somewhat cautious around children, steady patience helps me relax. I have been through a great deal, but I am not broken. I am resilient, affectionate in my own gentle way, and ready for a home where I can continue discovering what love truly feels like. I dream of my own bed, my own toys, and a human who understands that the strongest bonds are built slowly and will choose me as I choose them, with my whole heart.

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.
