Ideal Home/Adopter: Lotte's ideal home would a place where the humans understand the needs of her breed. Like all shepherds Lotte requires mental and physical activity. Larger space would be best for her as she is heavy and not always careful with her movements.

Likes: She likes plushy toys, bones, chews, puzzles etc. Basically all the good stuff.

Dislikes: Nothing seems to upset her terribly.

What makes this dog special: Lotte has come a long way in the weeks we have had her. She has had to adjust to new people, new house, new foster siblings all while being treated for heartworm and having a spay surgery. She needs to be kept on crate rest starting in a few weeks due to her treatment, but after that she will love walks and enjoy some lovins' from her people. She enjoys other dogs in the home but doesn't need them around to feel secure. Currently, she is taking some CBD to help her anxiety which manifests as pacing and panting. This has been a blessing for her, and us! She is working on some basic commands but right now we are focusing on her health!

Lotte's adoption fee is $350. All fees include spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, worming, flea and heartworm current. All dogs over 6 months of age have been tested and are heartworm negative.
