Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Our Thea is a glorious dowager who loves everyone that she meets. This Southern Belle joined our Connecticut rescue last month after her owners dumped her in a rural Louisiana Shelter at the age of 10. She became an immediate shelter staff favorite, with her sweet personality and gentle temperament.
It's not often that a dog navigates the rescue process with such grace. Thea has proven to be gentle and tolerant of all handling. Nothing seems to faze her. She is good with all people and other dogs, and would thrive in any type of home situation.
Thea is ready to start her next life chapter. She has a lot of life and love left to give her new family. Thea has a BIG personality and is a gentle, loving girl. She seems laid back, demure, and enjoys the company of her people. She seems to have a slight sadness about her, and is likely feeling confused and disoriented with the rescue process.
Thea has a very genial nature. She is a sociable dog, and while she has had little background in obedience, she has grasped the basics and seems to enjoy the training exercises. She certainly is food motivated, and responds well to positive reinforcement training techniques. Thea is easy to walk on lead, and has a moderate exercise level. She would be happy with a few leisurely leash walks daily.
Thea would be a great choice for a single or couple, a recent retiree or senior. She is a fantastic companion dog, and loves to stretch out on the couch with her head in her special person's lap. She could easily do well in an apartment lifestyle, and can be trusted home alone for short periods of time. Thea could easily join a multi-dog home, with proper introduction and supervision. She is a pretty good all-around companion dog, and needs to be in an environment where her golden years will be spent as the light of someone's life, rather than considered an afterthought.
We think Thea is a superb mix of German Shepherd and Rottweiler, due to her physique, stance and coloring. She has the black and tan Rottie coloring, stocky build and broad forehead, blended with the German Shepherd posture and fluffy tail. Thea is petite for both breed standards and is at a healthy weight of 47 pounds.
Thea has excellent house manners, and is house trained and crate trained. Adopters should expect to troubleshoot the occasional accident that will inevitably occur during her transition to a new home. Thea is in great health, has been spayed and has had a recent dental procedure. She has received routine vaccinations and health screenings. She has been dewormed, microchipped and is on preventatives for Heartworm and Flea/Tick.
