Story
Ines is a 10 months old shepherd mix puppy. She is very sweet and can be shy at times. She loves hanging out with dogs of all sizes but she takes her time with new people. Ines is the confident sister (compared to Iris, her sibling). Ines spends a lot of time running after balls in the backyard with her sister Iris and her other foster siblings.
Ines likes meeting new dogs. She prefers observing the dog from far for a few
minutes before introducing herself to the new pack.
Ines is good with children. Her foster mom brings her granddaughters age 3 and 6 to her home every day.
Ines hasn’t been cat-tested and doesn’t live with any cats but she doesn’t run after the outdoor cats that live in her neighborhood.
Ines is potty-trained. Her foster mom doesn’t like to crate but Ines has traveled in crates to the vet and to the park and she doesn’t complain about this.
Ines is medium energy dog. In the house, she tends to lay on her bed near her sister Iris. Her foster mom walks her once every couple of days.
Ines needs more leash-training. She knows “sit” in Spanish but could learn more commands such as “give paws”, “stay”, “come.” She has a good memory and is food-driven so it should be easy to get her new puppy-skills.
Ines can be shy with new people. She needs to get more socialization time with humans.
Ines would do well with a family that already has other friendly dogs. Since she lives with small children, she should be ok with kids age 6 and above. The best family for her would be one that can give her lots of cuddles and structure.
Because she is very intelligent, she needs to be in an environment where she can
be stimulated (through daily walks, learning commands, being in puppy-school, going on camping trips, etc).
Ines currently weighs 42 Lbs and will grow up to become a medium sized dog. She is fully vaccinated, spayed, chipped, and heartworm negative. She is kept on preventatives. She can travel to many states and Canada for the right home.
Rescue story: Ines was found living with her family (her sister Iris, brother Andy, and mom April) at 4 months of age under an abandoned house. Sadly, the neighbors in this area mistreat dogs. The little family wasn't welcome there and had to hide under that house and could only come out at night. Fortunately, her foster mom spotted this little family and got them safe. Her brother Andy passed away 2 days after he arrived to the foster home because he was severely malnourished. The pups were also very skinny but were able to gain strength thanks to their foster mom.
