Sheba (ADOPTED!) German Shepherd Dog Chicago, IL

**SHEBA HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!** Sheba the Shepherd is searching for a forever family. Sheba, a black German Shepherd, is estimated to be between 1 and 2 years of age and weighs a thin 60 pounds. A more ideal weight for her is closer to 70-75 pounds. Pal's Place rescued her along with her three puppies from an animal control facility in rural Kentucky. An overcrowded, chaotic, stressful pound is no place for any dog, especially a mother, and puppies. We heard their story and brought these sweethearts up to a wonderful foster home in Chicago to await meeting their forever families.

Sheba is an incredibly friendly, social, and well-balanced dog who exemplifies the best characteristics of the breed. Sheba does well with children and other dogs. She loves to play fetch, wrestle with her canine friends, and go for long walks, but this loyal dog loves most just being with her humans. Sheba is well-behaved in the home, housebroken, and crate trained.

Sheba is spayed, fully vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested (negative), and started on flea and heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee to the rescue is $375 and can be seen by appointment after an adoption application has been submitted and approved by the rescue. Unfortunately, we cannot hold our dogs for any reason. Please do not submit an application unless you are ready to meet and hopefully welcome a new companion into your home within three days of applying.
