Nanna 6335 German Shepherd Dog Rogers, AR

While walking down the Humane Society corridor, the photographer felt the quiet presence of a canine who was lying motionless on one of the blanket covered cots that are placed in all the kennels. The human paused and looked into the solemn face that was gazing up at him. He felt something very special about this canine, a pervasive feeling of peacefulness and tranquil acceptance. Together, they walked to the bark park where the shepherd’s story was revealed. Her fur was disheveled and her skin wrinkled, but even though her eyes looked sad, she shared the elation of life with the joyful expression of spirit that is the gift of the canines. This 8-year-old quickly received her name, Nanna, which matches her life experience and her friendly, nurturing energies that are mirrored in the gentle swish, swish of her happy tail wag. She has been through some tough times and has suffered neglect and desertion, but Nanna has an amazing desire to be with her human and when called, will come running to you with a bounce in her step. She walks easily on leash, performs an instant sit on request and impressed the photographer with her alert, focused nature. Nanna is hoping for a home with a kind, caring human who can accept her wrinkled skin, slender body, and thinning fur and who can look beyond the superficial and see directly into the loving heart of a canine.
