German Shepherd Dog

Female, Young
Rossville, IN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats,
Story
We found this german shepherd on a country road in Clinton County, outside of Rossville IN. We believe she was dumped. We have had her for 3-4 months. We took her to the vet in Rossville and they estimated she was 1 year old or less. She had no microchip, she has not been spayed and she is currently in heat. We posted her on many shelter and humane society sites in the area with nobody claiming her. By herself, she is a good pup, loyal, listens, can sit, and invisible fence trained. However, with our other two dogs, she is a handful. She is starting to intimidate our silver lab that is just under 2 years old. Our 9 year old Labradane then joins in and we just feel bad for our silver lab being ganged up on. She is not house trained and is chewing everything she can find even with plenty of chew toys. We think this might be anxiety from being dumped. She is very vocal when playing and will always bark when strangers come around.
