IRELAND - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / German Shepherd Dog / Mixed (short coat). Sweet, gentle, and oh-so cute, Ireland is the complete package! Ireland is estimated to be around 4 months old and is a loving and fun girl. She is a gentle soul who loves attention and is learning how to make new friends. She has all the qualities to make her a wonderful companion for someone looking for a moderate-energy and loyal buddy. Ireland is a petite girl and weighs about 18lbs. We think that she will be around 40lbs when fully grown. Ireland was found as a stray in rural Modesto and brought to the local shelter. She came in with her 3 siblings - Fiona, Patrick, and another brother who was adopted from the shelter. Due to overcrowding at the shelter, the puppies found themselves on the euthanasia list. We are so happy to be able to save their lives, and they have been adjusting well to life in foster care. They are looking for individual homes so that they can get the one-on-one training and socialization that they need. Ireland is playful, bashful, and has begun to blossom in foster care. She loves to run around the backyard and play with toys - tennis balls and fluffy toys are her favorite! Ireland is the shyest of the bunch, but with lots of love, she has learned to trust and can't wait to be your new best friend. Ireland is a smart girl who is still working on her basic manners. She needs a family committed to continuing her basic manners training. Ireland has done well living with small and large dogs (her best buddy is the black lab). Due to her shy personality, we think she needs a confident dog in her new home to help mentor her. Ireland has done well living with dog-savvy cats. Ireland could be a wonderful addition to a family with kids 10 years and older. Ireland has been doing well with her housetraining, but is still learning. She needs a family who can be patient with her and be consistent with her training to help her succeed. Ireland has done well being left alone for short periods in her crate during the day and sleeping in there through the night.
