Here's what the humans have to say about me:
After spending most of her first year and a half living in a crate, Shayne found her way into our rescue and was adopted by a GSRNE member, Craig, and his male German Shepherd, Danilo. Instead of being crated and alone, Shayne got used to going to work with Craig and Danilo, lounging in the office and going for walks outside. Life was good, and the only evidence of all those months in a too-small crate was that her ears are tipped back at the top.
Sadly, Craig died in February; and Shayne and Danilo needed GSRNE’s help to find them new forever homes. They are each doing well in their foster homes, and Shayne has started showing us just how affectionate and playful she can be.
She loves to go for walks and gets excited as soon as she sees her leash; but for all her excitement, she walks along nicely and doesn’t pull. Shayne loves meeting people and has been taught to wait on her bed when visitors arrive at the house. Once everyone is inside, Shayne will get up and greet them politely after being told it’s OK.
Shayne’s favorite toy is her Jolly Ball, and she loves to chase after it, trap it with her front paws and then carry it around by the handle. If the weather is bad outside, she enjoys fetching a tennis ball or toy that is thrown down the hallway for her. She’ll stop and tilt her head when you talk to her or do something that shows she’s curious about what will happen next. When you’re in the mood to sit and relax, Shayne is content to keep you company, stretch out and take a snooze. She really wants to be with her special person, and we want to find her a home where she’ll be included in daily activities as well as leisure time.
