Story

Information: Jasmine was brought into the shelter as a stray after having been on the run for about a month. She is an anxious girl so she is being fostered at this time. In the foster home, Jasmine has proven to be a wonderful dog! She is extremely affectionate (LOVES giving kisses!), loyal, smart and protective. As of now, she has not shown any interest in the other dogs in the house. She has done well with the cats in the home but will need to be monitored with cats until she is fully comfortable with them as german shepherds have high pray drive and she may chase after the cats. She is very laid back in the foster home and has yet to show interest in playing. She walks very well on a leash, but gets very nervous when you approach her with the leash. Once she feels comfortable with you, she will walk a steady pace by your side. She is kennel trained and mostly house broken. If you have any questions about Jasmine, please see shelter staff!
