Cookie is a kind, loving dog who gets along with basically everyone and everything. Although she is a senior, she's still very curious and relatively active - she'd do well with an hour or two (depending on weather and pace) of walking a day. We estimate her to be around 10 years old.
Unfortunately, Cookie has developed separation anxiety over the last year or so. She'll need to be crated (or kept in a comparable enclosed space) when left by herself. I believe she might do best in a home with another dog for this reason. It would also be helpful for a new owner to create well-defined and consistent boundaries, as is generally the case for German Shepherds. Cookie will thrive with that type of structure. If you are experienced owner who knows how to do this and are looking for a sweet, loving dog, Cookie may be a good fit for you.
As part of the program I adopted Cookie from in 2015, medical care for the duration of Cookie's life can be included in the adoption.
