About Sequoia

Sequoia is a one-year-old German Shepherd with a calm, devoted nature and a gentle heart. She craves connection with her people and thrives on routine and patience. Intelligent and loyal, she makes a steadfast companion for anyone ready to offer her the structure she needs. Sequoia is heartworm positive right now, but her condition is treatable with veterinary care and a calm environment. While she recovers, giving her a peaceful space and some extra attention will go a long way toward her healing. She is house trained and good with other dogs. Families with children are encouraged—she's accepting of young ones and loves being part of a group. No need for a fenced-in yard; what matters most is your willingness to give her a bit of extra care as she goes through treatment. Spay and vaccinations are included with the adoption, and her adoption fee is currently sponsored. Sequoia is in Gulfport, MS but can be transported to a variety of states. If you’re not in MA or RI, you’re in luck since those are the only exceptions to where she can travel. As an Aries (born April 13), Sequoia carries a bold, courageous streak beneath that soft exterior. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
