Female Belgian Malinois X German Shepherd
Approximate DOB 7/14/2024 – About 50 lbs
History: Goose was scheduled for euthanasia due to her behavior in the shelter. When staff would try walking her she was very reactive while on leash showing aggression towards other dogs as well as people. We agreed to bring her in to work with her and see if she could get past that. We found she was severely under socialized and reactive on leash. She has been with us for quite a while now and has made remarkable progress. She is an absolutely amazing young girl but will need someone who can continue with introducing her to new people and animals so she can continue building her confidence.
Current Behavior: Goose has learned how fun other dogs can be. Her best friend is a large male German Shepherd who she absolutely adores. However, she does seem to have some issues with certain dogs and will need someone willing to continue working on her socialization skills with other animals. She would do best in a home with a large confident male dog she can learn from and play with. She did not like the female husky she met here so she might not do as well with other female dogs - at least not initially. She has met several people and is amazing with an introduction to them. She also did wonderful at the vet when we went. She will show aggression towards strangers at the gate or if people she doesn't know trying to handle and pet her immediately.
Goose is an amazing young girl who learns quickly and is very treat motivated. She has mastered fetch and tug in the time she has been here. She ignores the cats and is the type of girl who stays right next to her loved one. I can open the gate and she will stay by my side as we walk around on the ditch. She also has wonderful recall to a whistle and/or her name.
Goose is leash trained, crate trained, house trained, dog door trained, and eager to please. She does have some separation anxiety so will need a secure crate when her loved one must leave her alone - not a typical wire crate but a heavy duty bar crate. I have left her and her bestie outside when I run errands and she does wonderfully. She will bark and whine when she can hear me outside - so an apartment might not be an ideal situation. But other than that I think she is a wonderful, extremely intelligent girl who loves her family and is just a sponge for knowledge. She is an absolute gem with children - when the grandchildren are around she is glued to their sides keeping an eye on them.
