My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Mara is a gentle, affectionate German Shepherd (age7) with a loving heart and a lot of loyalty to give. She is the kind of dog who thrives on connection and just wants to be near her person ; whether that is snuggling on the couch or following you from room to room. She is smart, devoted, and has a playful, curious side, especially outdoors.
She loves being active and enjoys car rides, yard time, and chasing after flies and bees. With a moderate energy level, she is happy to get some exercise and then settle in for quality quiet time with her people. She is sweet, sensitive, and thinks she is a lap dog!
Mara has lived with her male German Shepherd sibling and a bulldog but hasn’t been around unfamiliar dogs, cats, or small children. She could adapt to a home with other dogs if introduced slowly. Because she can be anxious with small kids or chaotic environments, a home with adults or older teens is best.
