My story

To adopt please fill out an adoption application. Summer is a beautiful 2yo female white German Shepherd Dog who was rescued as a stray in Memphis.  Friendly, well socialized, never meets a stranger!  (be sure to watch her video!). Good with kids although recommended for older kids just due to her size and enthusiasm!  Fine with other dogs.  Not recommended for cats because she likes to chase them.  Playful with moderate activity level outside and settles down quickly in the house. Good house manners. Housebroken but not crated because she doesn’t need to be. Obeys basic commands.  Loves to be with her people.  When she first came to us, Summer had heartworms, but she was treated without complications and cured and is now ready for adoption. Healthy and fully vetted, current on shots, spayed, weighs about 80 pounds. AWESOME young GSD will make a great companion (and jogging partner) for an active family who loves the breed. Here’s a note from her foster mom.  This is Summer. I found her running in traffic in July. She was nothing but ribs and hip bones when I found her, clearly she’d been on the streets alone for a while. I couldn’t leave her there. I took Summer to the vet, she had heartworms but she was treated and cured. She’s dog friendly but a little too active for my 2 senior dogs who just want to sleep all day! But she is dog friendly.   Last month we were harassed by 2 stray dogs during our walk but Summer never fought back or showed any aggression and we were able to just hurry away. She’s very friendly with people, even strangers.  And good with kids. She’s somewhat obedience trained and knows some verbal/hand commands.  She has mild separation anxiety and doesn’t like being left alone and doesn’t like it when people yell.  Summer’s ideal Adopter should have experience with GSD's, be patient and willing to work with her separation anxiety, be able to spend a lot of time at home and enjoy an active lifestyle. Summer is a wonderful young dog and anybody who loves shepherds would be very happy with her.
