Description
Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog (medium coat). MEET SAVANNAH! - I am in a foster home, please contact the shelter to meet me! Savannah is a gorgeous combination of a doe and a shepherd: alert, bright, agile, and food driven. A wonderful companion for experienced dog people and/or a family with teens. In the morning, grab your coffee, a bucket of balls, and gear up to practice your pitches in your fenced in yard, she is an expert catcher. Be sure to alternate your arms so your muscles stay symmetrical. If you run back into the house for more coffee and take too long, she will cleverly open the screen door to make sure you get an extra big cup. Fill up your fanny pack with treats and lace up your hikers for sniff walks in the woods or on quiet roads. She is nervous around new people she meets along the way and likes her space. While she is reactive toward other dogs when on walks, she has had success meeting and playing with one dog in a supervised, contained, setting. Donât worry, she is wonderfully cuddly, playful, and house-trained. She will curl up in a quiet spot in your home and enjoy music, sound machines, and the low hum of fans or air conditioners. Sheâll sense when youâre stressed while watching an intense show and will check on you to ensure youâre okay. Sometimes sheâll lean in further to get as close to you as possible to help your body regulate. Sav has been with two long-term foster volunteers and they are looking forward to supporting her success in her loving home. Check out her fetching skills! Savannah is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed/neutered, microchipped and seen by our vet team.

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.
