Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). MEET MAKIMA - currently located in Winter Park, FL (ADOPTIVE HOME IS PREFERRED, but we are also looking to place her in a foster home until she is adopted - we cover everything!) Makima is approximately 2 years old - full grown at 35-40 lbs., healthy, housebroken, crate trained, and good with people but at first meeting, she is a bit timid. She has been around children, but not toddlers. She is dog friendly but has never lived with another dog. She is great with kittens, was BEST FRIENDS with a guinea pig, and was a totally awesome companion U N T I L the dynamics in her home changed drastically; the working hours of her humans were extended, she isn't getting nearly enough exercise and is subsequently spending too much time alone and crated. The recent loss of her BFF (a guinea pig) has made her life miserable. Out of boredom, loneliness and lack of exercise, she has been getting into mischief when left alone - so she is spending more "alone" time in her crate. Getting another BFF is not the answer as the humans will still be working long hours. The difficult decision to re-home her has been made. Her ideal home would be where she can get LOTS of exercise and playtime (she is still technically a puppy)- She will be spayed and microchipped and checked over by our Vet as soon as we can get an appointment but if you are interested, please EMAIL us for an application - jmilbyergmail. A nominal rehoming fee of $250 will apply and will be applied towards her vet bill. NOTE: Adoption/rehoming fees are applied towards the vet bill: exam, blood tests, vaccinations, fecal, worming, spay/neuter, and microchip.

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.
