Meet Crystal, the delightful 5-month-old Anatolian Shepherd with lots of love to give! Crystal is currently thriving under the care of her foster family, who have shared some insights into her personality and needs.
First and foremost, Crystal is a well-mannered pup who hasn't had any accidents in the house so far-a testament to her good behavior and potential for training success. While she may need a little encouragement to enter her crate, once inside, she's typically quiet and content.
Crystal is a social pup who enjoys the company of her furry companions, readily joining her foster family's other dogs outside. However, she sometimes requires a gentle nudge of encouragement to venture out, responding well to soft voices and gentle gestures. When approached with patience and kindness, Crystal quickly warms up, leaning into affectionate pets and cuddles.
Like many young pups, Crystal is still learning to navigate the world around her, and loud noises can startle her, causing her to seek safety by running. With time and understanding, she's sure to build confidence and resilience.
When it comes to leash training, Crystal may initially resist, flattening herself out in protest. However, with patience and consistent training, she's bound to make progress. It's essential for her future family to approach leash training with understanding and patience, celebrating each small victory along the way.
If you're ready to welcome a sweet and spirited companion into your home, consider meeting Crystal and providing her with the love and support she needs to flourish. With a little patience and a lot of love, Crystal is sure to become a beloved member of your family in no time!

Our dogs and puppies go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (7 months and over), and up to date on core vaccines, heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Their adoption also includes a free-vet exam at one of our participating veterinarians.
