A devoted almost eleven-year-old German Shepherd currently in Wilmington, DE, whose heart is as big as her 85-pound frame, and just as ready to curl up in your lap for a good cuddle and a face rub.
Sweetz is the very definition of a loyal companion. She’s goofy, affectionate, and absolutely thrives in a peaceful, predictable environment where she can soak up all the love. With her classic black and tan coat and soulful eyes, she’s just as content lounging in a sunny patch of yard as she is following her favorite human from room to room like a fluffy, four-legged shadow! She’s deeply bonded to her people and especially protective of the ones she loves, particularly the family's twelve-year-old child, whom she proudly watched over like her own.
Sweetz has a few important needs that help her feel safe and happy. She must be the only pet in her new home, as she’s shown reactivity toward other animals, especially in environments where attention is shared. Sweetz became aggressive with another dog she lived with in the past and there was a bite incident. While she can walk calmly past other dogs in public and even greet familiar neighbors through fences, Sweetz truly flourishes in a calm, pet-free space where she can be the solo star of the show. She’s also best suited to an adult-only home with caregivers who understand large breeds and value the joys of a calm, consistent routine.
This sweet girl knows her basic commands (sit, stay, fetch, and easy) and she handles being left alone like a pro. She’s house-trained, microchipped, spayed, and up to date on all her vaccinations. While vet visits require a muzzle due to some anxiety, Sweetz generally thrives with routine, gentle care, and a quiet space to call her own.
Whether she’s playing a laid-back game of fetch, basking in the sun, or leaning in for a good face rub, Sweetz is always ready to remind you that love comes in the form of a big heart, four paws, and a soft nudge for more pets!
