Story
Animal Profile: Jazzmin is an estimated 12 to 18-month old (now) spayed 65 lb female German Shepherd who was found as a stray in Battle Ground Washington. She was taken in for her stray hold and is currently being fostered with other large dogs and gets along well with the friendly male dog in the home. She is friendly with people and in evaluation at A Dog's Best Friend she was observed to be even-tempered and intelligent. In foster care she is house-trained, crate-trained and doesn't exhibit separation anxiety. She does get excited meeting people and sometimes jumps up but she's learning quickly. Adopter Profile: Jazzmin is a smart and busy girl who is people-oriented, biddable and highly motivated to learn. She has picked up basic obedience quickly and has a good understanding of sit, down, place and heel (she's learning in German!). She would thrive in a shepherd savvy home with or without other friendly dogs; we would consider her for a home with a dog-savvy cat with the understanding that additional training will be needed. Jazzmin is not a couch potato and will need an active owner committed to intentional interactions with her to meet her mental and physical needs. She has a great off-switch and is calm in quiet in her crate, provided her needs have been met. With training, she has the capacity to be a go everywhere (hiking, parks, breweries) dog as she has a solid temperament but again, she needs an owner willing to put in the time and work to get her there. Due to Jazzmin's specific needs, we will not be considering apartments or individuals without large breed (and ideally shepherd) experience. ​Adoption Info: The adoption fee is $550, which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations per AVMA standards, flea/tick treatment, deworming, and microchip with lifetime registration.
