Katie German Shepherd Dog Wayland, MA

Katie is a beautiful 2 year old medium size female weighing about 55 pounds.
She’s super sweet and loves to train. Loves, loves, loves to play ball or wrestle
with her foster owner’s female German Shepherd. They can play all day. She has
a ton of obedience training; knows sit, down, go to bed, go to crate, and walks well
on a leash. Has a good recall.
Her previous owner was a elderly woman who had to surrender Katie as she is
moving to a senior living community. Katie was in a household with an older
Labradoodle who’s energy level was deemed more appropriate for the new living
space. That’s not to say Katie has a high exercise requirement, just that of an
average young shepherd.
Katie would do well in a home with a confident dog of similar size who enjoys
playing, or as an only dog with a active household who could be patient as she
continues to increase her level of socialization. She walks well on a leash but can
get focused on new noises and sights. But as she gets gradually exposed to new
places, the confidence and ease she displays in the backyard begins to emerge in
the front yard and beyond.
She’s been exposed to a number of dogs at the foster owner’s house. Katie does
extremely well when the number of loose dogs is small (1 or 2 other dogs), chasing
and wrestling in fun. But she tends to wander away when the number of dogs gets
too big, so maybe off leash dog parks are probably not the best place for her.
She’s a great dog who needs an owner willing to continue the process of
introducing her to the world.
