Heidi has a long lean body, a long nose, large stand-up ears, and soft brown eyes! She's a real looker! When you take her for a walk, you'll be the envy of the neighborhood! Heidi is a one year-old 59 pound German Shepherd that is light tan and black in color. She arrived at the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 4/4 as a stray. When I was putting the scarf on her, she started licking me. That was a first for me. I thought it was so sweet. Well, she is really sweet. When she first got out into the yard, she explored the whole yard with her nose. She kept looking over the wall, although she did not make any attempt to escape. She will need a tall secure fence as she's very curious and alert wanting to know what's going on in her surroundings. She was not interested in balls or toys. She did sit for treats. At the end of the photo session she came to me and enjoyed having her ears scratched. She's very gentle and calm, well-behaved, friendly, and playful. At one point she pranced around the yard. She walks extremely well on a leash. She walks right beside you. She did her business out in the yard and kept her kennel clean. She sniffed other dogs but had no reaction one way or the other. Although she will need a yard her dream is to spend most of the time snuggled up with her new family watching TV or just chilling!
