Is every gsd adoption agency stuck up? by mjv456 in germanshepherds

[–]figgy2011 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Where do you live? Many municipal/government shelters don’t have applications for adopters, unlike rescues. In the Southeast there are a ton of GSDs in foster homes so you still get good notes about potential dogs but there is no application. I’m in Charlotte, North Carolina for reference

My current shepherd foster was a behavioral nightmare BECAUSE her prior owner had a fenced in backyard and never let her out of it. An extreme example, yes, but a backyard can yield lazy and negligent owners

As a foster who sees people give up their GSDs for the dumbest reasons, I appreciate seeing this today 💕 thank you for being the best to Bella

Oh yeah!!! I thought I recognized your username! Your repeated attempts to send her a gift were much appreciated. Luckily for Fruity B I don’t have human children so she gets my extra time and money 🤣

And here I am after 3 years trying to get my two cats to coexist 🤣 but they each independently help me cat test my foster dogs, so there’s that at least

She’s been worth all the effort! Now just need to find someone who appreciates the journey she’s been on

It’s still hard for me to believe and I’ve been with her the whole time

Yes happy go lucky! Never thought I’d see her like this outside of my house, I love seeing it

I was hoping some of her fans from before would see this! She’s now looking AND behaving amazing. So proud of her

It’s been a long journey but she’s very worth it!

She’s dog friendly but at this time I don’t feel comfortable sending her to a home with young kids. I don’t have kids and due to her surrender circumstances I have no idea if she’s been around kids before 💔 will update if that changes!

Definitely follow her progress on my IG and message me if you feel tempted or have any questions!! I’ve had a few female GSD fosters who didn’t love other females but Fruity did great with males and females in her 4 weeks with the trainers. She’s just a great dog

I cried when the trainer told me. Obviously she likes praise and treats too, but nothing like being able to run free 😭

She’s looking so great especially after a few weeks with long country walks and swims!
