Chloe

Chloe is a very sweet approximately 1.5 year old female German Shepherd surrendered by her owner because she did not have time for the dog. Chloe knows basic commands, but needs some tweaking on leash manners. Her former owner reported Chloe loves children and is also good with dogs. She also loves to play catch. <br/><br/>Chloe's evaluation by the behavior specialist who works with the rescue found she is a very sweet and social female German Shepherd. Chloe is good with dogs and doing well in her foster home with the two resident dogs--male and female--who are very social and stable. She also likes children, but NO CATS. Chloe has a definite prey drive so is now learning to peacefully coexist with the neighborhood squirrels. Her base temperament is social and confident, but she needs continued socialization and exposure to build on her natural tendencies. She is a high energy dog so Chloe will need an adopter with an active lifestyle. A runner and/or hiker is ideal. She also loves playing a ball. She likes you to throw a ball for her or she toss it to you so you will toss it back to her. This game can go on indefinitely. Chloe knows the basic commands sit, down, and go to bed. We are working on a down/stay on the bed. She understands the concept and can hold the down for a 5-10 minutes with a few reminders. This is very good considering she is a new home and still adjusting. She is looking to bond with her person because, through no fault of her own, Chloe has been bounced around to a couple of homes during her young life. As result of multiple homes, she has some budding separation anxiety. Her foster home is working on this and she is doing well, but she will need continued work in her new home. Chloe will also need work on leash manners so her foster home has begun the work on this, too. Chloe is a real gem! She won’t be around long so submit your application before she gone!<br/><br/>Please note our adoption contract requires continued behavior training in Alexandria, VA.
