Nala - German Shepherd Dog Female Dog For Adoption in Gretna, Nebraska, USA

Dog Breed: German Shepherd Dog. Adoption Fee: $450.

German Shepherd dogs, as well as the other herding breeds that we have in rescue, are highly active, energetic, working breeds. They require considerable vetting, exercise, socialization, training, leadership and mental stimuli in order to be well-adjusted, well-balanced, and well-mannered dogs. Even if you exercise and play with your dog daily in your fenced yard, you MUST still take your dog out on daily walks and outings in order to work on his/her leash skills, manners, and social skills. These breeds make great additions to active families who will pamper them, but who will also work with them, as they are smart dogs who need leadership, structure, plenty of activity and mental stimulation. If you are new to German Shepherds (and other herding breeds), please research the breed to make sure this is the dog for you. We ask that you consider the time and financial commitment that your German Shepherd (or other herding breed) dog will require before applying for one. Please review the section on our website (.heartlandgsrescue) "Is a HUGS Dog Right for You?" for additional information. Like all German Shepherds and herding breeds, Nala will thrive in a home that provides structure, consistency, training, and plenty of physical and mental activity. Her ideal home will be active, committed, and experienced with GSDs or similar breeds. A canine companion would be a big bonus! Even with a fenced yard, daily walks and outings are essential to help Nala stay well-balanced, build good manners, and avoid boredom. Nala has a kind heart, a bright mind, and a sweet, mellow, affectionate personality. She’s ready to find her forever family!
