Rose is a striking, large German Shepherd in Pleasant Grove, CA, with a good blend of energy, sensitivity, and intelligence. She’s about a year and a half old, spayed, and up to date on core vaccinations. Rose is friendly in familiar environments but fearful of strangers, especially on leash; she tends to bark, growl, and tries to stick close to her handler for safety. In her own yard, she’s alert and will alarm bark appropriately when people are nearby. Rose does well with other dogs, currently sharing her home with a smaller Maltese/Poodle, though her energy and size can be intimidating to smaller dogs. With children, her original owner reported she was good, but her current foster hasn’t seen her interact with kids. She has shown prey drive toward small animals, so a cat-free home is necessary. House trained but still working through puppy-like mischief, Rose enjoys digging, chewing on sticks, and sometimes gets into things like extension cords if unsupervised. Routine and exercise are important for her; she spends days outside and sleeps in her crate indoors at night. Rose loves car rides and often wants the front seat. Rose joined her current foster when her previous owner lost his home. Due to Rose’s large size and energy, she is seeking an adopter who can offer plenty of exercise, engagement, and continued training. She’s not a fit for small children or for anyone unable to handle a big, energetic dog. Contact Connie listed above for more info. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
