Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog / Terrier. This 9-week-old German Shepherd mix is a happy puppy who is easy to please. At 15 lbs, Shira loves playing with her siblings, but she’s just as happy soaking up attention and affection from her people. Shira is very bright and is ready to join a loving family. She’s currently learning puppy basics like potty training and is used to using puppy pads. She's never been in a crate but has done wonderfully in gated puppy spaces. Due to her noise level, she will require a home without shared walls (no apartments/townhomes). Shira does well with children and with other dogs, but will need slow introductions with other dogs. After slow introductions are established, she will thrive when making friends. She currently lives with cats in her foster home and is mostly uninterested. She loves toys of all kinds, including ropes, stuffies, and puppy chews. As a German Shepherd mix, Shira will grow into an intelligent and active dog who will thrive with regular exercise and mental stimulation. She will require a fenced yard in her future home to meet her energy needs. If you’re looking for a bright, loving puppy to bring you joy, Shira is ready to find her forever family! If you are interested in this dog, fill out an application at this link to get the ball rolling - pethavenmn/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/ The adoption fee is $550. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, heartworm/Lyme test, all age-appropriate vaccinations (distemper, rabies, and Bordetella), heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, and microchip implant (including registration). Adoption fees INCLUDE a mandatory sales tax of 7.525%. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. Due to post-adoption services provided, we prefer to adopt within a 150-mile radius of the Twin Cities. However, we will consider up to 250 miles if the foster agrees to travel requirements and staff approval.

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.
