Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Odessa! She’s a 3-month-old German Shepherd mix that was pulled from a rural shelter with her four siblings. Some of her siblings look like they have some Husky in them, so Odessa might as well. But looks-wise, she definitely favors a shepherd.
Odessa is the calmest and most independent sibling of her litter. She comes across as a bit shy, but she just likes to do her own thing and seems to be an observer of the world around her. Her siblings are drawn to her calm demeanor and always want to snuggle up to her. Odessa enjoys human attention and likes to be petted, but she’s also content hanging back and letting her two sisters get all the attention first. She would do great in a home with other dogs. She plays very well with and is also respectful of the large dogs in her foster home. But she would also be fine as an only dog.
Odessa and her siblings aren’t big barkers. They share a foster home with a hound mix that’s also 3 months old, and when she’s barking at them to play, they don’t bark back.
Odessa and her siblings just recently arrived at their foster home, but they will start working on crate training and potty training soon.
Odessa’s foster mom has experience with Shepherd/Husky mixes, and she wants Odessa and her siblings to go to homes where people understand the importance of daily walks and proper training and mental stimulation. Also, a fenced-in yard is very important because generally these types of dogs love to be outside. Since they are so young, their foster mom won’t send them anywhere where they need to be crated for more than 3-4 hours a day.
Odessa currently weighs about 20 lbs at 3 months of age and will be a large dog when full grown, possibly 65-80 lbs.
