NO Kitties for Greta**
Greta's Meet Your Match Designation is: Wallflower - Shy yet charming canine searching for patient owner with relaxed lifestyle. Looking for gentle guidance to help me come out of my shell. Treat me sweet and kind and I’ll blossom
I know Greta's photo looks like an adult dog but when you see her in person & on the videos below, you can see just how young & this little girl is! At least you’ll be able to see what she will look like as a stunning adult GSD!
Greta & her sister Ingrid are now 7th month old puppies (Ingrid has an adoption pending) and found themselves in a very crowded shelter in KY when their owners simply said they didn’t want them anymore. They are clearly purebred German Shepherds, but on the petite side for GSD'S. I believe they will be between 50-60 lbs full grown.
Both of the girls were abused & they need someone who has experience with abused dogs in the past. They have already come so far just in the last few weeks living in my home. My sincere hope is that someday they will forget their past & just live for today where there are lots of nice people. She'll heal mentally but she needs a quiet home & lots of love & patience.
They are SUPER intelligent. Both girls have extremely soft & gentle dispositions & they are so affectionate, they really crave attention! They put their paws (gently) on your thighs & all they are trying to do is to get hugs. Usually, we discourage putting their paws on us --- but I’m letting them do it since they need to feel loved & safe. I have found that when the KY pups & dogs arrive, they have seldom been pets the way they are to us. Most of the dogs live outside their whole life, usually chained up & they have never had a chance to BE puppies! Even adult dogs have to learn how to play with toys because they’ve never had any toys in their previous life.
GSD’s are known for being very intelligent which is why they are often used by the police & military & I can attest to their intelligence because when I'm watching these girls behavior I can SEE them thinking! So, that means they must be adopted by experienced pet parents & their new parents will have to be at least as smart as they are so you can keep us with them!
There is a video below showing what I see every morning when we all get up for the day. Of all the pups & dogs here in my home, Greta likes to “sleep in.” While all the other dogs run outside to potty she just keeps rolling around & doesn’t seem the least bit in a hurry to get up. So, if you like to sleep in too, maybe she’ll be the perfect girl for you. Greta has just started doing the cutest thing – she has started to “smile” at me, it is so cute!
Both girls are perfectly healthy, do not have Heartworms & have a clean bill of health from my Vet. They have had all their shots, have been spayed & microchipped. They are in the process of professional dog training (see video below) and they are learning leash manners so they won’t drag you down the streets, and basic commands. Of course, they are both excelling in their training.
If Greta sounds like the kind of girl you would love to bring into your home & life, be sure to read our adoption requirements which are listed on the left side of our website. If you can meet or exceed you can apply online.
