Jetta's Web Page

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 Jetta
Status: Adopted! Adoption Fee: $350 Species: Dog Current Age: 3 Years 11 Months (best estimate)	Fence Required: Yes(6 foot)

Jetta is a very sweet and high energy GSD. She loves being active, like walks, toys, light play-wrestling, playing chase, and playing tug-o-war with other dogs. When she is finally ready to lay down, it isn't long before she is ready to play again! She gets along great with dogs of all sizes and ages, but would do best with at least one playful dog buddy who will be able to match her enthusiastic playstyle (and keep up with her!), to help her burn energy.

Jetta kennels well and will stay quiet after a few minutes. She is food-motivated, very smart, and has a great temperament (she's a friendly, sweet girl). She shares all of her toys, bones, and other belonging great with all other household dogs. She is potty-trained. She would be a great addition to an experienced household who would like to include this super smart, sweet girl in their active lifestyle! Jetta's adopter will need to continue working on her leash manners and basic training. She has been working on recall and is doing great. She now sits before going out and coming back in, sits for food, and knows to sit in her spot for meals. This girl is a smart cookie, very sweet, very food motivated, and she loves to learn new things!

Like any of our dogs, this gorgeous girl would make a great addition to an active home that will provide the love, structure, good leadership, activity and mental stimulation that this breed needs. Because of that, Jetta's ideal owner will have prior GSD or other herding 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.

Jetta's adoption fee is $350, 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.
