Faith Australian Kelpie & White German Shepherd Mix Sautee Nacoochee, GA

Meet Faith
Faith is a gorgeous red German shepherd/cattle dog mix. She was found living in a hoarder’s house. She was desperately trying to raise her puppies surrounded by filth, with no food and kindness. She was surrendered to us with six puppies in tow. She was a good mom, raising her pups beautifully and lovingly. Faith’s puppies have found their furever homes. Now it’s Faith’s turn to get her second chance.
Faith is about four years old. She has a pretty, light red coat and warm amber eyes. She is medium in size. Our staff and volunteers have done an incredible job with Faith, showing her unending love and attention. She was so scared when she arrived and to see her now, embracing our staff and volunteers in gentle hugs, we know that she is ready to lavish her love on a kind and caring person/family. Faith is friendly, affectionate, outgoing, calm, gentle and quiet. She has grown in confidence. She is learning some tricks. She walks easily on a leash. She has shown us her playful side. She loves being in the fresh air and play yards. She is loving and affectionate with those she trusts. Faith enjoys traveling in a car, especially to her favorite lunch place. She loves attention and thrives under the adoring kindness shown to her.
Faith is a smart girl and learns quickly. We think she is most likely house-trained. She will do well with positive reinforcement. Faith will need a containment fenced yard to safely run around and enjoy the fresh air. But she must live as an indoor dog. Faith is selective about other dogs, but this may be the isolation and desperation she experienced early on. Once a shelter dog is given time to decompress and live a more normal and quiet life, this may change. Faith is a beautiful and lovely dog who just needs a second chance.
