Here's what the humans have to say about me:
"Lady" is an 11-yo spayed female GSD mix who is as sweet and docile as a GSD can be. She's in great shape for her age; she can jump unassisted into the back of my 2-wheel drive standard pick-up and she just had an exam with a full blood panel on 1-14-19. The doctor said Lady's blood panel looked excellent!
Lady is friendly with all people (though initially a little aloof), and fine with young children. See elsewhere on this page for a video of Lady playing "handsies" with one of her foster caretakers.
Lady is great with other dogs. She presently lives with five other dogs in her foster home.
Lady is also fine with cats. She presently lives with two in her foster home.
Lady is fully housetrained and very quiet. She's loving but not too needy.
Lady's owner Cindy Dorovi passed away approx December 20. Cindy, who was 80 yrs old when she died, contacted me a few years ago asking if I would take Lady if she died before she did. I said yes, and sure enough that situation came to pass.
Cindy lived alone, so I would visit her on occasion to keep her (and myself) company and to do some work around her house. We became very good friends and I would bring three of my dogs over to her house each time I visited to socialize with Lady & Honey. Of course, I got to know both dogs pretty well.
After Cindy died I brought both Lady and her 6-yo spayed female Chihuahua/Dachshund companion "Honey" (see bottom pic at left) to a foster home in Lincoln. On Jan 5, I brought them both to a new foster home where they are presently living with three other dogs and two cats.
Lady is located in South Sacramento. Her adoption fee is $85.
