Story
Born June 25, 2025 Need to rehome due to our recent medical issues, not hers. She is an 8 month old pure bred gsd puppy. It is so hard, but this would be best for her. She deserves to be able to go for long walks and be a goofy pup. She loves to play with her toys. Playing fetch with her ball is a favorite. A fenced yard would be ideal where she can sniff all she wants. She is very shy and takes time to warm up to strangers. Loves to give snuggles and is very affectionate with her people.

Story
I got Maevis at 6 weeks old from Craigslist through a backyard breeder. I will admit, I was very unprepared to handle a high needs dog, and for this, I have a lot of regret. She has been my baby for nearly 3 years now, but due to complications with my living situation, I have to rehome her, unfortunately. She has lived with me, my now ex, his German Shepherd male, and a female cat ever since I got her. Now and then, she’ll get moody with the other dog, but it has never been detrimental. I believe she would do good in a household as a sole pet. She has separation anxiety and occasionally has accidents indoors. She doesn’t like new people at first, but will grow accustomed to you in time. I will only let an experienced dog owner who has dealt with high-needs dogs adopt her. She has a lot of energy, loves to go on walks, play with squeaky and chew toys, and loves peanut butter. She has so much love to give, and I only want the best for her moving forward in her life journey.
