My name is Tori!

Name: Tori

Gender: Female

Age: 9 years (10 on 10/30)

Current Weight: 50 lbs

Expected Adult Size: Medium (25-50 lbs)

Breed: German Shepherd Dog

Energy Level: Low-Medium

Dog Friendly: No and cannot live with other dogs. Tori has been friendly with some dogs she's met on walks, but has never had success playing with another dog or sharing space with one.

Cat Friendly: No

Kid Friendly: No

Apartment Friendly: No

Physical Fence Requirement: Physical fence preferred but not required with regular walks/exercise

Crate Trained: Tori isn't crate trained and doesn't need it, she has perfect manners and never chews anything or has accidents

Potty Trained: Yes

Ideal Home/Adopter: Tori's ideal home would be somewhere she gets excercise and playtime everyday. She is a senior dog but she still has great energy levels! She needs someone who loves her and listens to her boundaries. She's sweet and affectionate, but it needs to be on her terms.

Likes: Tori loves walks, her stuffed bear, squeaky tennis balls, rolling on the grass, and her self appointed job as the neighborhood watch (staring out the window all day). She also loves "helping" with outside chores and greeting the neighbor dog through the fence.

Dislikes: Tori doesn't like baths, rough-housing, being outside alone, or when strangers move too quickly around her.

Additional Considerations: Tori came to us with a liver condition. She's very healthy now and her liver tests well, but she will be on medication for the rest of her life.

What makes this dog special: One of our favorite things about Tori is how funny she is. She's shy at first but has a personality once she gets to know you. She is also incredibly smart. There are multiple commands and words that she learned just from listening to people talk, including basically every word for food. She also taught herself the word "cross". One day on a walk her foster asked if she wanted to cross the street and was shocked when she just turned and did it. This is now a regular part of her walks, if they see a person or a dog coming and say cross and she'll do it. This old girl is up for learning all of the new tricks.
