About Ida

Ida is a 5-6 year old female German Shepherd who recently joined us through the Prison Training Program. After the passing of her owner, she was surrendered due to her previous family being unable to care for her. Here, she has embraced her new surroundings, learning basic obedience and socializing with both her inmate trainer and other dogs. Ida's temperament assessment has shown she is non-aggressive and gets along well with dogs. However, she would do best in a home with older children, as her size and energy may be overwhelming for younger kids. There's no indication of resource guarding, making her a gentle companion who simply craves love. The story behind her journey is touching; her previous owner and Ida were inseparable. Now, she’s ready to find a new family who will cherish her as much as he did. If you think you can provide that loving home, please reach out for an application. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
