Jodie is a senior German Shepherd in Van Nuys, CA with a story that tugs at the heart. At 9 years old, she found herself alone at a crowded shelter when her family moved away and left her behind. While her brother Boris was adopted quickly, Jodie waited until a caring rescue stepped in and saved her. Since then, she’s shown nothing but resilience and an easygoing spirit. She fits smoothly into a home environment and has a gentle touch with kids. Jodie loves fetch, soft beds, and curling up for naps or snuggles. She’s used to other dogs and seems comfortable around cats too. Her loyalty runs deep, and she wants nothing more than to belong. True to her breed, she’s smart and eager to connect. Jodie is spayed, microchipped, and current on vaccinations. Her short tricolor coat is easy to care for and her personality is impossible to overlook. Born under the steady sign of Taurus, she's calm and adaptable, thriving best when surrounded by those she trusts. If you’re looking for an affectionate, playful, and loyal companion who’s past the puppy stage but still up for adventure, Jodie may be the one to welcome home.
