Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This is a courtesy listing; however an application for Zoe from Caddywumpus Cottage Paws will be required.
Zoe is a pure breed German Shepherd with excellent manners that just needs an active family!
This gorgeous girl is Zoe! Zoe is still just a youngster, about 3 yrs old. Zoe needs an adult home that understands and can accommodate her fear of strangers and the unknown. While she has been through some obedience training, it is recommended that she continue to work with a trainer so her new family can fully understand her needs. It would also be beneficial for her to have a large dog companion who can balance her fears and build her confidence.Zoe's professional trainer has stated that Zoe is a well-mannered, well-behaved, well-trained dog.
She is however currently living in a home where she is loved greatly but her mommy travels quite a bit and feels the best life for Zoe would be more suited to a family or experienced handler with a lot of time to dedicate to Zoe's energy level. Her mommy feels she is being short-changed on attention and it is breaking her heart.
Thank you for inquiring with Caddywumpus Cottage Paws. We always have wonderful dogs in search of committed forever homes and appreciate you coming to us for your next family member.
We will be very honest about a dog's known background, habits, and personality; however you can expect a "get-acquainted" time together. Be aware that the dog may be anxious and frightened on its first day in your home. Anticipate a reasonable adjustment period. At first, it may appear nervous, have loose stools, vomit, or forget its housetraining manners. Being forewarned is a major step in the adjustment phase.
Our donation fee is minimal for services; more for dogs that require additional vetting before adoption. Our adoption agreement asks that you return the dog to us if you are unable to keep it. We will try our best to match you up with a family pet that will offer you its lifetime in companionship.
A lack of understanding of natural dog behavior is a huge part of the dog overpopulation problem. If people had stable dogs in their homes it would be rare they would ever give them up, and when they did have to it would be much easier to find a home for a behaved dog. It is the dogs with "issues" that our pounds and shelters are full of. Most homeless dogs are not the stable dogs that have had their instincts met. The good part is it is never too late for a dog; they can change if the humans around them change. It is the humans that need the training.
