Story
Meet Gypsy — a 12-year-old, 50 lb German Shepherd mix with soulful brown eyes and a heart full of love. Quick Facts: Name: Gypsy Breed: German Shepherd Mix Age: 12 years old Weight: 50 lbs. House-Trained: Yes Crate-Trained: No (doesn’t need one though) Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: Hasn’t been tested Good with Kids: Yes Energy Level: Low (couch potato extraordinaire) Fence Required: No About Gypsy’s Breed: Our best guess is that Gypsy is a German Shepherd mix. Senior German Shepherds are loyal, intelligent, and affectionate companions who mellow with age, becoming calmer and more easygoing. While they may slow down physically, their devotion and protective nature remain strong, making them wonderful pets in their golden years. Despite entering the senior phase of their lives (between 7-10 years old), German Shepherd retain their wisdom, loyalty, and gentle temperament, often becoming more relaxed and less energetic than in their younger years. With proper care—like a senior-friendly diet, gentle exercise, regular vet visits, and a comfortable environment—they can continue to thrive and bring immense love and companionship. Gypsy is the definition of a perfect lady. She’s potty trained, calm, and trustworthy in the home without a crate. At an adoption event, she charmed everyone she met, soaking up pets and attention with her gentle nature. She adores children, gets along wonderfully with other dogs (including her foster siblings), and with her easygoing personality, she’ll likely do well with cats too. Gypsy’s Glowing Highlights: House trained, no crate needed Dog- and kid-friendly, loves everyone she meets Gentle energy, enjoys slow walks and cozy naps Loving companion, happiest on a comfy bed or cuddled beside you Low maintenance, easygoing and well-mannered Ideal home: a calm, loving household where she can feel safe and cherished Gypsy may not chase balls anymore, but she gives something far more valuable—unconditional love and companionship. With her warm brown eyes, gentle spirit, and affectionate nature, Gypsy is ready to spend her golden years as your devoted cuddle buddy and loyal friend!
