🌞 Who couldn’t use a little more sunshine and happiness in their life? Meet Gouda, the delightful 10-year-old German Shepherd Dog who is positively bursting with charm and love, ready for her forever retirement home! This sweet lady radiates joy—not only is she absolutely gorgeous, but she also brings smiles to everyone with those sparkling eyes! 💖 Not a single bark has been heard from this gentle soul; she is the embodiment of sweetness. Rescued just in the nick of time from a shelter where she faced an uncertain future, Gouda has left years of neglect behind and is now eagerly looking for the love she truly deserves. Picture this: a calm and quiet companion who is housebroken and oh-so-easy to care for. At around 56 pounds, Gouda is on a journey to gain some healthy weight, happily munching on soft food—her current diet includes a delightful mix of soaked senior kibble and canned food, not to mention some scrumptious soft treats! 🍽️ A dental procedure before her big move to her forever home will help her smile even brighter. This lovely lady is crate trained and finds joy in peaceful slumbers, both at night and throughout the day. She’s the ultimate cuddle buddy for cozy Netflix and chill sessions! 📺 When it comes to her furry friends, Gouda is dog-friendly with gentle introductions, and though she has yet to meet small kids, respect and kindness from young ones is all this sweet lady needs! Plus, she’s already made friends with the teenager in her foster home. Now, here’s the scoop: Gouda does have some mobility challenges due to weak back legs and possible arthritis, but she takes inexpensive daily supplements to keep her happy and moving. A single-story home is a must since stairs can be tricky. She doesn't require a fenced yard, but she loves sniffing around outside before coming back in—what a little explorer! Just remember, slow and short leash walks are the name of the game for her. 🐾 Oh, but wait! Gouda absolutely adores bath time! Her foster mom discovered this gal loves a good scrub, and it’s clear she might just be a little water baby! 🌊 Her playful spirit shined through as she tried to hop into the swimming pool, but let’s keep her safe and warm! If you believe you could provide a wonderful home for this incredible senior dog, and if you're in the Central Florida/Orlando area, don’t hesitate!
