My story

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

Animal Profile: Verina is a 6-year-old, 70 lb female German Shepherd who was transferred to our rescue from Whatcom Humane Society. She lost her previous home when her family had to move due to a military assignment and they were unable to bring her along.

Foster Updates: Verina, or Vi for short, is an active girl who loves to play. The bigger the stick, the better, in her opinion! When she first arrived in foster care we noticed a few things that made us think she might be deaf. A vet visit confirmed our suspicions, but you wouldn't know that when you first meet her. Verina is very interested in engaging with her people, and loves going for long walks on the property and playing fetch. She could entertain herself for hours outside and would love to live some place where she could enjoy her own yard. She has a good heel position and she makes lots of eye contact with her handler -- whoever is holding the leash -- for guidance in new situations. Vi knows the "place" and "crate" command as well as "sit" and "down". She can be tentative when first meeting new people, but once she opens up you can see her spirit shine. Verina previously lived with another dog, but is not interested in interaction as she is very people focused. Verina will make a loving and loyal companion in her forever home!

Adopter Profile: Verina is looking for a family with German Shepherd or working dog experience. She needs to live in a single dog, adult only household with a securely fenced yard. She would love to live with someone that worked from home. Deaf dog experience a plus!

Adoption Info:  Adoption fee is $400 which includes spay/neuter, all core vaccinations, microchip, heartworm test. Your adoption fee may be tax deductible as Dog Gone Seattle is a federal 501c3 organization.  Apply online: www.doggoneseattle.org/adoption-application Major was a transfer from Everett Animal Shelter.

Animal History: Verina was transferred to Dog Gone Seattle from Whatcom Humane Society.
