Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). Doja in her foster home: Doja playgroup video: Email her foster mom at lori.woodwardcomcast! Meet Doja! This 6 year old German Shepherd is the definition of good girl. She has a chill energy and is an easy dog to share a home with. She enjoys meeting new people and new dogs. She loves other big dogs and would love another playful dog in her home. Her current foster home does not have cats, but she recently spent a long weekend in a temp foster home with cats. They were mostly separated so that the cats werenât stressed, but Doja seemed interested but was easily redirected, so we think she may be able to live in a home with a dog savvy cat and reasonably slow introductions. Doja came to our shelter after her owner passed away. She soon became a volunteer favorite and playgroup helper dog. She became a trusted girl who helped staff assess new dogs and also helped teach some manners to unruly youngsters. She was so dog social, we moved her to the biggest shelter suite we have! With 2 doggy roommates! But Doja was hiding a secret. One day Doja started delivering beautiful baby puppies while still sharing her shelter suite. Fortunately this happened during working hours while shelter staff could quickly give her a private space. Unfortunately Doja started to bleed far too much during delivery, and our vet team made the call to send her to an emergency vet for a life saving emergency spay and 24 hour care. Doja quickly recovered and took beautiful care of her 2 baby boys. They all soon went to one of our foster homes that specializes in moms with litters. Doja was a great mom to her puppies (theyâve been adopted) and now itâs her turn to enjoy the spotlight and be the center of her adoptive familyâs heart. Doja regularly hikes with her foster mom and does well. She has good manners and is fun to hike with. She regularly hikes with a 20 pound dog and has done well with him. We have not seen her around kids but we will update her information as we learn more. This girl really enjoys a game of fetch. She loves her ball and will bring it back continually until you stop playing. Foster mom limits her fetching time to a few minutes a day. She loves wrestling with the dogs in her foster home and does well with both male and female dogs. She settles easily and has a chill vibe. She loves car rides and does very well in the car. She has good house manners and has not been destructive in her foster home. Sheâs pretty good on leash for a girl her size, especially if sheâs able to get her initial energy out with some fetch beforehand. She is potty trained and sleeps all night in foster momâs bedroom with no fuss or accidents. We always suggest keeping new dogs on a consistent potty schedule until theyâre well acclimated into their new home. Sheâs shown no signs of separation anxiety in her foster home and is left loose in the house while her fosters are away. Dojaâs ideal home would have a yard to play fetch or a good park nearby, and an active family that wants to include her in fun outings. Sheâs easy to take along. If youâd like to speak to her foster family, please email at lori.woodwardcomcast.

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.
