My personality

Why I need a new home

Does not get along with other pet

My story

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

Orca is a beautiful working-line German Shepherd, approximately 4–5 years old. She's a devoted, deeply bonded companion— intelligent, sensitive, and loves to work. She is trained in obedience and some initial service training. She rarely barks but is naturally protective— always guards the front door overnight. She's fine with home visitors or new people in public. She was raised with young children and gets very excited when meeting little ones, but they can find her overwhelming.

Orca thrives with daily mental stimulation, training, and purposeful activity. A fenced yard is ideal, though she can also do well with consistent daily walks.
She is reactive with other dogs, and she chases cats, which I have been unable to change, and which is incompatible with my other pets and my needs for service work. This is the only reason I am seeking a new home for her.

Fee negotiable for the right home. An initial home visit required prior to adoption to ensure a good fit for Orca.
