Summer is a senior with a lot of personality packed into her petite German Shepherd frame. She’s fiercely loyal, following her favorite person everywhere—even if it means keeping a vigilant eye on the world at large. Summer isn’t shy about voicing her opinions, especially if strangers wander too close, which makes her both charming and a little bit of a character. She moves slowly these days, though her energy can surprise you when the mood strikes, leading the way on gentle walks and making sure you stick by her side. She shows signs of mild forgetfulness, likely from age, but that doesn’t stop her from keeping tabs on her people and the environment. Social at heart, Summer gets along well with other dogs but still carries a touch of grumpy charm, especially when it comes to setting boundaries. Whether she ends up loving a peaceful home or taking comfort in a bit more activity, her main requirement is affection and the chance to boss things around just a bit. Summer would do well with someone who appreciates her quirks, values her company, and is ready for slow-paced, steady companionship. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
