Story
Sharon was just a 3 month old puppy when she was found skinny and with a plastic bag tied over her head in California. A rescuer took Sharon in, got her to a good weight and fostered her for 3 months to get her back to health and socialize her.
- Approximately 6 months old and 42 pounds. We think Sharon will be under 50 pounds full grown.
- Possibly a German Shepherd mix. She has amazing ears with one that stands and one that flops.
- Has been raised with other dogs, cats, kids and even chickens and pigs. Sharon loves other dog friends, is neutral with cats and loves gentle kids. We would love to find Sharon a home with another dog friend to play with!
- Shy when meeting new people but blossoms and soon shows affection. Sharon will need an understanding person willing to give her just a day to warm up in their home. She defaults to women typically and takes just a little more time to warm up to men. With a steady supply of treats though, she now really enjoys her foster dad in the home she is staying. After the first night, she would willingly nap next to her new foster dad.
- Nice medium energy level. She loves to play with her toys, enjoy a chew bone, explore outside and then can relax and be mellow in the home. She has a very gentle nature about her.
- Has done excellent with her potty habits
- Crate trained and her crate is her safe place that she will go to rest
- No reactivity on leash. Sharon is building up her confidence going on walks with her foster family. Getting out and about to explore is something she is doing regularly now. She hadn't been on many walks in her foster home in California and could be reluctant on leash. She is doing so much better now with walking on leash. She goes out to potty on leash each time she has to go since her foster family does not have a fenced yard. So she does know how to potty while on a leash.
FROM HER FOSTER FAMILY:
"Sharon is one of the sweetest dogs we've met. Now that she's been with us about a week, she's really starting to open up and be more trusting and playful. She is potty trained, crate trained, and we are working on leash training. She loves doing stuff but also likes to just chill with us and she sleeps through the night. She does not resource guard, and is easy to redirect when needed. She has shown incredible resilience transitioning to being fostered on Mt Hood after a life in California- including weathering the recent super storm and 4 day power outage with us here in Zigzag."
Sharon is spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested negative, dewormed and current on her flea/tick/heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee includes a free wellness exam at one of our partner veterinary clinics in Oregon City, Portland, Milwaukie or Tualatin.
