Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). 7/7 update: Back in April, a very kind bus driver spotted Jada near a stop along her route. She had seen Jada in the area before, and wanted to make sure she was safe. Finally, she was able to lure Jada into a crate with food and bring her to the shelter! At first, Jada was extremely nervous and defensive around us. She wouldn't even let us put her a leash on her to go for walks. It seemed like Jada was very undersocialized... not to mention how loud, overwhelming, and scary the shelter is. Thanks to the hard work of Jada's team of volunteer handlers over the last few months, she has really blossomed! While she still takes patience getting to know new people, she's shown herself to be curious and affectionate. She'll walk nicely on leash to explore the park, lean into pets from her usual volunteers, and will now slowly approach new people on her own for a sniff and some treats! Jada has even been in playgroup with other dogs... though she's a bit too stressed here at the shelter to play just yet. We are SO proud of Jada's progress. This once terrified little bus stop pup is ready to bloom with a rescue group, or adopter/foster experienced with fearful dogs. She may be open to a home with other dogs, but would appreciate some time on her own in a quiet environment to decompress from the craziness of the shelter. Here's how to get in touch if you want some sweet, petite (just 40lbs!) shepherd in your life! Potential fosters: vcar.fosterventura Rescue groups: vcar.rescueventura Adopters: Come visit at 600 Aviation Drive, Camarillo CA or email animal.careventura Assistance with transport may be available! 5/21: This dog is on our call to action list due to some defensive behaviors demonstrated when trying to leash her. She has been too scared to walk on a leash, and seems significantly undersocialized. We are continuing to get to know her, but we think she might do best in a qualified rescue placement where she can build her confidence and learn skills that are essential to living in a home. If you have experience with fearful/undersocialized dogs and are interested in learning more, please reach out to animal.careventura for more information.

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.
