Meet Etta—a spirited lady with a heart full of love just waiting for her forever family! 🌟 This stunning shepherd, who recently escaped a week of uncertainty as a stray, is a combination of independence and loyalty, much like the true champions of her breed! 🐕🎉 At first, settling into shelter life was a challenge, but now this lovely gal is ready to leap into a life filled with adventure and trust! Etta is the very embodiment of shepherd warmth. While she might seem a tad aloof at first—let's be honest, who among us doesn’t love a little air of mystery? 😉—she’s deeply connected to those she chooses to love. Etta is loyal, perhaps a little protective of her circle, so she's looking for experienced shepherd owners who appreciate her spirited personality. She thrives in a calm environment where she can truly shine! ✨💖 Get ready for adventure, because Etta is all about fun! She walks like a champ on the leash, loves a good car ride, enjoys a game of fetch to her heart's content, and could entertain herself for hours with a squeaky ball! Did I mention she adores splashing around in the creek and appreciates a good brush and warm bath? Grooming time? Yes, please! 😂 Etta knows some basic commands (like sit, stay, and down) and is currently working on left and right—talk about a smart cookie! 🍪 Etta would thrive best in a tranquil home, ideally as the queen of her castle as the only dog. Although she can coexist with other pooches, she seems to enjoy having all the attention to herself. 💁‍♀️💖 Potential adopters are encouraged to visit and spend quality time with Etta several times to build that special bond that she needs. By the way, the adoption fee for this incredible adult dog is $225, and she comes with all the goodies: spayed or neutered, fully vaccinated, and even microchipped! 🐾 If you think Etta is the one for you, don't wait! Apply to adopt her through the Buddy App today! Let's find this gorgeous gal the loving home she deserves!
