Nora carries herself with typical German Shepherd poise and walks through life with the calm self-assurance of a dog who’s seen a lot and still hasn’t lost her bounce. She came back to rescue as a senior after having first landed there as a stray at age three, but the years haven’t dulled her drive or curiosity. Nora is a social, alert presence in the home—she makes her rounds, checks the activity, and likes to be included in whatever is going on. She’s house trained, crate trained, and expects to be treated with respect. Nora thrives around adults and older kids, though she hasn’t lived with young children. With other dogs, she’s particular—confident and sometimes bossy—so she matches best with calm, mature canines or solo households. Cats, small dogs, and small animals just aren’t her thing, true to her Shepherd instincts. She’s got plenty of energy for her age, relishes an engaged home life, and deserves a family that recognizes she’s still very much in her golden years, not slowing down. Make room on your couch (and in your heart) for a loyal companion ready for her next stretch of good years. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
