Start your journey together! Apply now. Meet Cissie! This incredibly sweet German Shepherd Dog just wants to feel safe and loved. While she can be a little shy in unfamiliar situations and is still building her confidence, she quickly warms up with patience and a calm environment. Her progress is noticeable each day as she finds comfort in her routine and the company of others. Cissie does exceptionally well with other animals, taking genuine comfort in their presence—she enjoys being around both big and small dogs and is respectful of cats. She’s even learning to establish healthy boundaries with chickens and responds positively to gentle corrections. Although sudden movements or new experiences may initially make her nervous, her progress with consistency and a gentle approach is remarkable. She knows where her safe space is and comes when called, a heartening sign of her trust and growing confidence. Like many dogs acclimating to a new home, Cissie has displayed some mild separation anxiety, but she has already improved considerably with consistent support and medication. She’s settling in beautifully and is ready to blossom into a loving companion for a patient and understanding adopter. She is microchipped, spayed, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and on monthly preventatives, so she is healthy and ready for her forever home. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
