German Shepherd Dog Australian Cattle Dog

Female, 1 yr
Seattle, WA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
**Petal is currently being fostered in HOUSTON TX but is available for adoption out of state via rescue transport, no added fees. All adopters are offered video chat to meet the dogs face to face PRIOR to committing to adoption. We accept returns on all of our animals at little to no cost depending on your location** Petal is a sweet, gentle young dog whose confidence has grown tremendously since coming into foster care. She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once she feels comfortable, she is affectionate and loves neck scratches. She knows basic commands, walks nicely on a leash, and enjoys spending time with both people and other dogs. One of her favorite things is being around puppies. She has been wonderful with the foster puppies in my care and seems to genuinely enjoy their companionship and playful energy. Before I took her in, she had been living outside in the neighborhood. I don't know how she does with cats, but I never observed her chasing them while she was outside. As she's settled into foster care, she's become more confident and has recently found her voice a little, but she's generally a calm dog. She's somewhat independent while still enjoying being part of the family and participating in whatever everyone else is doing. Although she's grown some since I first took her in, she hasn't grown as much as I would have expected for a typical German Shepherd mix and appears likely to remain a medium-sized dog. Petal would do well with someone who will continue building her confidence while appreciating her gentle nature. She has been a joy to foster and deserves a loving home where she can continue to thrive. The last picture shows where she was found on the streets.

Say Hello to Zyra … her name is as unique as she is. In Arabic, it means brightness.In Spanish, it means gift of god.In Hindu, it means bring good change.And in Hebrew, it means new beginnings.This dear girl is true to all of these. Which is remarkable given her background.For years, Zyra’s world was a patch of dirt in a backyard. No toys. No walks. No comfort. Just forced puppy breeding, loneliness, and a life of being used.But here’s the thing about Zyra -- they never broke her spirit. She still believes in people. She still lights up when you walk into the room. She still wants to play and curl up next to you, pressing in tight. Now six years old, Zyra is all heart. A German Shepherd through and through—smart, loyal, and devoted. What she is not is a dog-park social butterfly or a busy-sidewalk type of girl. Her soul is built for depth, not crowds.Zyra’s dream home is one with shepherd experience, no other pets, fencing and an understanding of what it means when a dog wants to be your whole world and can give that loyalty in return. She doesn’t want much … just a place where she can be safe, loved, and finally …FINALLY… the center of someone’s life and love.She’s waited long enough. Questions?

Story
This is Xena. I adopted her almost 5 years ago as a puppy. She is very smart and curious, and loves a good game of fetch (but she loves chase even more). I have worked hard to train her and she has proven to be very trainable. She knows all the basics: sit, stay, come, heel, left, center, down, place, etc.I love her very much, but it has become obvious that this is not the right environment for her, as I live in the city, and I have failed to fully address her behavior issues. We have worked on many of her triggers like bikes, scooters, and runners, and she is mostly non-reactive to any of them. She remains very reactive to other dogs, and skateboards. She resource guards from other dogs, but I have never seen her guard from a human, and she allows me to touch and take her food and toys.She will make an amazing dog given the right owner and environment!
