Goldie. Nka Juneau needs a caretaker or foster!
Won't you consider helping her get a new start?
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 Goldie. Nka Juneau
Status: Adopted!
Adoption Fee: $400
Species: Dog
Current Size: 39 Pounds
Current Age: 4 Years 1 Month (best estimate)
Goldie is a 7 month-old girl puppy that arrived very emaciated. She has gained some weight but is still on the small side and weighs around 40lbs. She is absolutely adorable (looks like a smaller puppy). She is delightful, wiggly, and loves to be close, and join in on whatever is happening! Goldie loves peoples, she LOVES to play with other dogs, and loves to go to doggy daycare. She is an all-around sweetheart. She’s a lovely car rider, content and quiet. She walks well on a leash, can just be a little reactive (vocal) but that should improve with training. She loves treats. She is a great girl!
Like all German Shepherds, this sweet young girl would make a great addition to an active home that will provide the love, structure, good leadership, activity and mental stimulation that her breed needs. Because of that, Goldie's ideal owner will have prior GSD, or similar breed experience.
Even if you exercise and play with your dog daily in your fenced yard, please remember that you MUST still take your dog out on daily walks and outings, in order to provide sufficient stimulation, ward off boredom, and work on leash skills, and manners.
The adoption fee for Goldie is $400, all of which goes back into offseting our high-cost vetting expenses and rescuing more dogs. We are a 100% volunteer-run rescue group and rely on adoption fees and donations to continue saving lives. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, fecal, deworming, flea/tick and heartworm preventative, heartworm tested if old enough (and treated if positive), and microchipped.
