She enjoys the company of other dogs and gets along with cats. Like many young shepherd mixes, she has an exuberant enthusiasm for life and loves to move, play, and be part of the action.

Story
IDGSR Welcomes ABBY into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Hiya Friends! My name is Abby and I'm a beautiful 3yr old female German Shepherd. I am located in Memphis TN and will be available for transport. Quick Facts Age: 3yrs old (dob April 2023) Kids: good with kids (7+) Dogs: good with other large dogs Cats: NO cats Training: obedience refresher 1. I've been in a great loving home since I was a puppy but recently I've decided that my kitty siblings are more fun to harass than be friends with so I'm looking for a home with *no* cats! 2. I'm a very well mannered southern gal. I've had professional training where I learned great leash walking, multiple commands, kennel training - the works! I could use an obedience refresher just to sharpen my skills. 3. Some of my best attributes are I'm affectionate, house/kennel trained, good with kids & dogs, I'm smart, active, love to cuddle. I am a bit hesitant of new sounds but that's no biggie. 4. Now that the weather is warm, I'd love to get outside & be active! I'm talking walks, hikes, pool time, trips to get pup-cups; basically anything as long as I'm with you. 5. I've grown up in a house with a kiddo who is now 7. If you have kids at home, with proper introductions & supervision I'm sure we will be friends. Remember: teach kids to respect dogs & teach me to respect kids. 6. If you are looking for a beautiful, friendly, affectionate, smart, active, and incredible new companion - I'm your girl! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!
