Rory

My story

Sometimes life can surprise you! Meet Miss Rory, our soon to be one year old on 8/15, pure black German Shepherd wonder girl. She’s sleek and shiny like a new black car, sweet as a cotton candy and her love surrounds people and other dogs like a velvety soft blanket. She starts a bit shy but wait until she knows you and love will know no bounds! Rory thought she was settled into life as a loved puppy but recently found herself in an unsafe situation that she desperately needed help to get out of, so Haven Rescue took her in immediately that night! Her foster was pleasantly surprised to find out this petite 50 pound baby, although scared wanted to securely snuggle herself on her lap and let the storm pass! Next, she met other resident dogs, and that tail has not stopped wagging since! In her foster home, Rory currently lives with dogs from 35 to 155 pounds and is fantastic with all of them. In addition, this gentle soul has also been around children from 4 months to 8 years old and adores them. Besides her people this beauty loves her toys, playing tug with other dogs, chewing on bones, car rides and is learning the deliciousness of peanut butter! Plus bonus, Rory is potty trained and crate trained! Last week Rory was spayed and since shepherds are particularly prone to hip issues, we proactively had them X-rayed. It was confirmed that she does indeed have some hip dysplasia but is a candidate for a future FHO, the cost of which will be covered by Haven Animal Rescue Nebraska at our vet when she is slightly older. Other considerations are easy, just simply keep the weight off of her and don’t try to make her a long distance runner. She can run and play with other dogs like normal and be the loving family dog she is meant to be! There will be no more surprises for Rory, until her forever home comes along and falls in love with this amazing pup! She’s so full of love for everyone and if you think you could be the best surprise of all for Rory, please fill out an adoption application at www.HavenAnimalRescueNebraska.org to meet her!
