Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). If you're interested in adopting any SGSR dog, please read about our Adoption Process and fill out an Adoption Application. Visit our website for more information, including Frequently Asked Questions. Scout is sweet, loyal, and an all around great pup! She’s estimated to be approximately 1-2 years old, and she loves kids, other dogs, and everyone she meets. She’s currently being fostered by a family with two young boys who love on her constantly, and she has been gentle and patient with all of their shenanigans. Scout wants to be with her people as much as possible, and would do well with a family that does not need to leave her alone for long periods (a family with someone who works from home would be ideal). She loves to ride - she’ll be thrilled to accompany you on errands and outings, and she is learning how to play (she doesn’t quite understand fetch or toys, but she loves going for walks, hikes, and even runs when the weather isn’t so hot). She also does not understand the meaning of personal space, she wants to be right by your side (getting lots of belly rubs), and she loves to snuggle in bed at night. Scout was found as a stray and brought to SGSR with no information on her history. She is potty trained, knows basic commands, but can be anxious in a crate. She also has a sensitive stomach and requires sensitive stomach food to avoid bladder issues. Scout ’s vet describes her as having all the traditional features of a classic German Shepherd, but the personality of a Golden Retriever. She has not been specifically cat tested, but given how much she loves small dogs, I think she’d probably do ok with them. I also think it could be beneficial for her to be in a home with another dog so she would have a companion. Fair warning - Scout is a counter surfer and trash can opener, so a dog-proofed kitchen is recommended. She is definitely an amazing, sweet, and smart girl who will do great in most homes! She is being fostered in Charlotte, NC. if you live in North Carolina or Virginia, please go to our website and fill out an application .southeastgermanshepherdrescue Our adoption process consists of a telephone interview, a call to your veterinarian and a home visit.

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.
