Betsy

German Shepherd Dog

Female, 7 yrs 2 mos

Riverwoods, IL

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Good with dogs,

Story

Betsy is one of those quietly special dogs who can be easy to miss in the bustle of a shelter — but once she’s in a calm, predictable home, her true self shines. She’s a classic German Shepherd in many ways: observant, steady, and happiest when her world feels consistent. In the home, Betsy is fully housebroken, affectionate, and loves being near her people — she’ll rest by your feet, follow you from room to room, and lean in for reassurance — but she’s not a cuddler who wants to be scooped up or smothered. She shows love in her own thoughtful, gentle way. She can be sensitive to changes or overstimulating moments, and may vocalize a little when she’s unsure. But with routine, a quiet place to relax, and someone who understands the softer side of shepherds, she settles in beautifully and becomes a wonderful companion. She’s also very easy to walk — steady on leash and happy to take in the world at a comfortable pace. Betsy can be polite around other dogs, but she doesn’t really want to live with them. She’s much more comfortable as the only pet, where she can fully relax and not feel pressured to interact. If you’re an experienced GSD home looking for a dog who appreciates calm, structure, and staying close without needing constant cuddles — a perfect match for someone who enjoys quiet, steady company — Betsy may be the perfect fit

Hazel is a very kind, sweet, and a very tolerant dog! She is not bothered by commotion within the house of other barking dogs, playing dogs, kids playing and being loud or playing.

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Maude is lovingly referred to as Maddie by her fosters. Maddie is the more brave and confident of the two sister, and she is willing to try things and explore more and warm up a bit quicker. Maddie came to us about a month after Hazel, and took less time to warm up to us here at her foster home. Maddie likes to be the boss and will let the other dogs know, as she likes to bark and initiate playing with them. She plays gently ,like Hazel does, but is more of an alpha than Hazel when she plays. However, Maddie listens very well to us and knows how to crate up, sit, and working on shake. Maddie likes to be in her crate when she is lounging around, as this is her safe spot. She likes to be in her crate when we are gone as well. Maddie is not aggressive in any way either, as she has been through as much as Hazel within our household with our dogs and kids. Maddie likes to chew on her toys and bones as well and likes to spend time outside with her sister! Maddie does have some health issues with her auto immune disorder, and is in need of someone to love on her just a bit more to help her live her best life. Currently she is on a few medications and will need to be on these the rest of her life as well as have a slightly customized diet to accommodate her health.
