German Shepherd dogs, as well as the other herding breeds that we have in rescue, are highly active, energetic, working breeds. They require considerable vetting, exercise, socialization, training, leadership and mental stimuli in order to be well-adjusted, well-balanced, and well-mannered dogs. Even if you exercise and play with your dog daily in your fenced yard, you MUST still take your dog out on daily walks and outings in order to work on his/her leash skills, manners, and social skills.These breeds make great additions to active families who will pamper them, but who will also work with them, as they are smart dogs who need leadership, structure, plenty of activity and mental stimulation.
If you are new to German Shepherds (and other herding breeds), please research the breed to make sure this is the dog for you. We ask that you consider the time and financial commitment that your German Shepherd (or other herding breed) dog will require before applying for one. Please review the section on our website (www.heartlandgsrescue.org) "Is a HUGS Dog Right for You?" for additional information.
About Morwen

Current Size: 76 Pounds
Current Age: 7 Years 2 Months (best estimate)
Morwen is a very sweet, friendly, and loving girl. She is very smart and eager to learn. Morwen just wants to please her people. She enjoys playing with toys, especially balls. She likes to play with the other dogs in her foster home and run around in the yard. Morwen would be great in a home with other playful dogs who will enjoy her enthusiastic playstyle, or who will at least be patient with this very playful youngster who doesn't always understand when other dogs are done playing. Morwen would be the delight of any active pet-parent who is looking for a smart, affectionate, energetic partner to go on adventures with: hiking, running, etc... Morwen is friendly and well-behaved in public. She is an adorable, active, gorgeous young girl, who is always excited to play or go on her next adventure!
Morwen's adoption fee is $325, all of which goes back into offsetting our high-cost vetting expenses and rescuing more dogs. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, fecal, deworming, flea/tick and heartworm preventative, heartworm tested if old enough (treated if positive), and microchipped.
