My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Cleo is an exceptionally beautiful GSD. She appears to be about 2-3 years old, with a sweet but worried disposition. She has been through a lot in her young life, and we are looking for a great home that can provide the training and consistency she needs to build up her confidence. German Shepherd or similar breed experience will be required for her adopter.

Cleo can be a bit dominant and protective -- typical of female shepherds, so a home with a submissive male dog would be best. She is learning her manners, and responds very quickly to corrections. She loves the company and affection of people. Like most GSD's, she can be shy around strangers, so will need a patient and experienced trainer to help with proper introductions. Like all dogs, structure and consistency will make her thrive. Once you get to know this sweet girl, she will watch out for you forever.

Cleo's Forever Home will need to continue her training.

Due to the nature of this breed, for safety reasons NWGSR does not adopt to homes with children under 8 years of age, or with dogs weighing less than 20 pounds. We also require a fully-fenced yard, with fencing a minimum of 5' tall. More information on these policies is available on our website.
