Dolly is a big-hearted German Shepherd, just over a year old, weighing in as a 70-pound giant puppy. She’s had her share of unreliable humans, but she still forms close bonds fast and wants to stick by your side—she’s a true ‘velcro dog.’ As an active, smart shepherd, Dolly needs a home committed to giving her daily exercise, steady training, and real companionship. She’s been friendly with every staff member and volunteer at the shelter, but she does come with some shepherd instincts: expect her to be protective and eager to learn if you give her structure. No cats or small critters, but she may enjoy a big dog companion, as long as introductions are slow and thoughtful. Dolly is still learning about how to be part of a home, so crate training and establishing good house manners are high priorities. She's looking for someone who understands shepherds—their needs and potential—in a real home for the first time. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
