About Savannah

Savannah is an 8-year-old female German Shepherd Mix available for adoption. This laid-back girl is one of the most relaxed pups you’ll ever meet. Since arriving at the shelter, she has shown nothing but joy and affection, and we’re eager for the right family to find her. Savannah loves to go for walks, play in the backyard, or simply lounge around while watching a movie on a lazy Sunday. She walks well on a leash, though she might pull a little when she really needs to go outside. Extremely kennel trained, she appears to be house trained as well. Savannah is very quiet and rarely makes a sound. She's a social butterfly who adores meeting new people—especially when there’s a car ride involved! If there's an open door, you'll find her ready to hop in. She settles down nicely in the evenings on her bed, enjoying her own space before drifting off to sleep. Savannah gets along well with most dogs, though she prefers a calmer presence given her age. She can definitely voice her annoyances when younger dogs get a bit too rambunctious. Savannah hasn't been tested with cats yet, but that can be arranged easily! You can find her at the Union County Animal Control in Cobden, IL, where we can’t wait to see her find her forever home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
