Jolene is a sweet, deeply affectionate German Shepherd who forms intense bonds with her person and soaks up attention once she feels safe. She’s happiest with belly rubs and playtime, clearly craving both physical and mental activity. Right now, Jolene is easily startled by new people and changes in her environment, so she needs a calm, structured home—ideally with a single woman willing to build trust at Jolene’s pace. This isn’t a dog for someone who entertains a lot or wants a social butterfly; Jolene wants to feel secure and isn’t ready to be passed around. She’s energetic and playful, but her last home didn’t give her much structure, so she’s picked up some habits like escaping, going through trash, and sometimes overexcitement that leads to submissive urination. Those behaviors should improve with consistent training, routine, and clear expectations. Jolene has a strong prey drive—cats, small dogs, and small animals (including chickens) are not a safe match. She does get along well with medium to large dogs, though her play can be enthusiastic. She’d do best with a compatible canine companion or as an only dog with an active adopter who has leadership skills. If you want a loyal, loving dog and can offer structure, clarity, and some patience, Jolene will give you her whole heart. Fun fact: Jolene is a Pisces—a sign known for deep affection and sensitivity. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
