Here's what the humans have to say about me:
"Freya" is 2½-yo spayed female GSD who is loving, confident and very high-energy. Freya is outgoing and friendly with strangers, but is a good watchdog. Freya is fine with most other dogs, but does not get along w/ the small female Terrier mix in her present home and should best be paired w/ a medium-to-large size male dog. Freya has a strong prey drive and is not good with cats. Freya is good with horses. Freya is medium-sized and weighs approx 65 lbs.
Freya is completely house trained. However, due to her high energy level, she needs to be run regularly or she can be overly-active inside. Freya is good on leash, but can be very reactive towards other dogs if her handler is not in complete control when she sees another dog. With a handler who conveys authority, Freya is fine when she sees other dogs. Freya loves to play ball and could run for hours on end.
Freya was trained as a service dog for veterans w/ PTSD. A woman (Lisa) with a daughter who has epilepsy adopted Freya, being assured by Freya's trainer that Freya would serve well as a service dog for her daughter. However, when the daughter had seizures, Freya would jump up on her (which she was taught to do when somebody has an anxiety attack), and this did not assist the girl having the seizures. Lisa tried to return Freya to the trainer, but the trainer was nowhere to be found! So, Lisa's mother (Phyllis) took in Freya. Phyllis planned to keep Freya, but as previously mentioned Freya does not get along w/ her female Terrier mix.
GSRSV has evaluated and is placing her as a "Program Dog." This means that GSRSV is placing Freya through its adoption program while her owner continues to care for her. Freya is located in Grass Valley. Her adoption fee is $250.
