My name is ROUGE!

ROUGE is one of the “Fab Four” we saved from being euthanized at the Pound. The only reason that was going to happen to her was because they needed the space to bring in more unwanted or dumped dogs. She’s spayed, microchipped and vaccinated including rabies. She is a beautiful girl but definitely high energy and looking for an experienced Shepherd owner. 

ROUGE has both beauty and brains and a very smart, loving girl who craves attention. Her favourite place to be is right beside you on the couch so she can get snuggles and belly rubs. She does need lots of exercise to help burn off that energy so she’s definitely looking for an active family who can give her the exercise she needs, take her on trail hikes and lots of adventures. She travels well in a vehicle and gets excited when she knows going in it. A fenced in yard is required for her as she loves to run around in one and chase out the squirrels, raccoons, chipmunks, well let’s just say any creature that dares to land in her yard. She does need a fenced-in yard as she does love to run around and play outside. She hasn’t met a cat but we’re advising no cats in the home due to her high prey drive. She has a 6yr old child in her foster home and they get along great. The little boys favourite thing to do with her is lead her around the house on her leash. She takes it all in her stride and just follows behind him just like his little shadow. 

ROUGE is crate trained and will sleep soundly in it at night. She’ll also go in it during the day and nap while left alone. She’s housetrained and will let you know when she needs to go out to the bathroom. She’s a very social girl and loves to chase and run around with the other female dog in the home so she would do well with a fur sibling in the home. The dog will need to be calm and not get too worked up with an energetic dog like Rouge around. She does have a high prey drive so we’re not recommending she be with cats.

ROUGE is very strong so leash walking was a challenge at first but after being introduced to a Halti, she’s doing amazing and walking right beside her foster like a good girl. She can be reactive to other dogs when out walking but she is now learning that if she doesn’t bother them then they won’t bother her. We do recommend obedience/leash training for her and this will be beneficial for both Rouge and her new owner as it will help them bond.
