Story

"BLESSED" is a GREEK SHEPHERD MIX but maybe she has a little "bear" in her blood? Surely a lot of "teddy bear"!!! She is a SPFG picture of heath; fully vetted and vaccinated, spayed and microchipped, fully housebroken and leash trained (well almost…)lol... "BLESSED" is a little timid with strangers but when she warms up she becomes a true "teddy bear", loving, warm, responsive and cuddly. She is exceptionally food oriented and will do pretty much anything for a treat. Social with other dogs and very playful. She is curious with cats but being a big oaf she tends to scare them. "BLESSED" would do perfectly in any kind of family!
