About Kaja

Make their next chapter their best one yet. Kaja is a striking tricolor (brown, black, and white) German Shepherd Dog with a confident and independent personality. Weighing in at a sturdy 76 pounds, Kaja stands out as an alpha female who prefers the company of male dogs over females. She needs an adopter who has experience with German Shepherds and who understands the strong, assertive nature typical of the breed. Her medium-length coat adds to her regal appearance, while her personality ensures she will be both a loyal and protective companion. Kaja may not be a fit for homes with cats, and she is still working on her house training skills. If you are prepared to provide strong leadership and guidance, she will return that dedication tenfold. Due to her birthdate on November 15, she falls under the sign of Scorpio—a sign known for loyalty and determination! All dogs at Goliad Pet Adoption are spayed or neutered, microchipped, dewormed, given flea/tick and heartworm preventatives, and up to date on vaccinations before they go to their new homes.
