About Jade

Jade is a striking German Shepherd whose family had to rehome her due to allergies. At about a year and a half old and weighing in around 62 pounds, she's a large, young dog with plenty of energy. Jade has been spayed and her vaccinations are current. She does well with other dogs and gets along nicely with children—she's not been exposed to cats yet, so her compatibility there is unknown. Typical for her breed, Jade can be wary with unfamiliar people and has some guarding instincts, but she warms up quickly after a little attention. She’s already completed three puppy training classes, so her basics are covered. Jade is house trained and is looking for a home that can continue to build her confidence and keep up with her smart, active mind. Her adoption is a courtesy post, so applications will be forwarded directly to her family. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
