My story

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

Nixie is the sweetest dog that gets along well with everyone. She’s a 2 1/2 year old 95 lbs German Shepard that we adopted at 10 months old. She’s easy to please with a ball, toy, a water hose, or of course treat. She’s a fantastic guard dog that will defend her people, but when introduced she is friendly toward adults and children. She likes walks but needs to get her energy out first and is better when walked by herself. She does okay with a prong collar but needs more consistent leash training. Nixie gets along and plays with our 50 lbs Husky mix. She loves our cat and is very gentle with her. We hate to rehome Nixie but we think she deserves someone who can train her and socialize her better especially on leash. When walking her with our other dog, there is a pack mentality and she can be reactive (barking) on leash or behind a fence. She can also be very anxious in public places. We love her and will only give her up to the right people.
