Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Meet Vivian! This regal 5 year old is your quintessential shepherd: loyal, loving, and the kind of dog who picks her person and never looks back. She bonds deeply with her person, but she has also done beautifully meeting new people and even charmed her foster grandparents along the way. Vivian is treat motivated and loves to learn. She runs, plays ball, and cuddles like it's her job. She is great on leash, doesn't react to dogs who mind their business, and her overnight fosters and day trippers have been consistent: `easy,` `stellar,` `10/10.` At home she is a dream. Potty trained, nondestructive when left alone, comfortable with home life, and thoughtful enough to let you know when she needs to go out. Vivian is back at the shelter while her foster mom is on vacation, which means right now is the perfect time to come meet her. Take her on a day trip and see what all the fuss is about. She does best as an only pet, with a home where she can be the center of someone's world. She deserves nothing less.

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.
