Story
This is Sally, a 6-year-old, 80-pound German Shepherd/Shar pei mix. Someone bred this dog on purpose and the end result is a very sweet, smart dog with sharp fur, loose wrinkles, a physique like a water buffalo and a face that looks like one of her parents was a hippo.
She is perfect with people of all ages over 8. She is a powerful athlete and she loves to run. She also loves to nap on the bed. She is housebroken and well-mannered in the home, she know a lot of commands and she is supremely friendly to all people.
However, Sally prefers to be the only pet in the household. She dreams of being the center of attention, soaking up all the love and care her new family can offer. This independent streak only adds to her charm, as she enjoys the spotlight and loves being the focus of your world.
This remarkable dog is incredibly intelligent, eager to learn, and enjoys mental stimulation. She'd thrive in an environment that provides mental challenges, exercise, and, most importantly, a loving and understanding family to call her own.
I am going to take all kinds of heat from people when I say that this dog is not attractive, but let's be honest. I could take a super white, fluffy, genetically-blessed dog that's been in a bad mood for 3 years and that dog would be placed instantaneously because it's pretty. People will forget you're irritating to the core if the exterior package is good enough. See, for instance, The Bachelor contestants. A dog that is one taco short of a combination plate in the looks department will sit forever no matter how nice it is. This is established rescue fact and while I wish it was different, the world is shallow.
All she needs a home with no dogs, no cats and a fenced yard. That's it. She's an amazing dog and would be great with pretty much anyone who just wants one dog.
