STELLALUNA THE FRUIT BAT's Story

Contact my foster at meghanmlucas@gmail.com Stellaluna the Fruit Bat is a gorgeous female German Shepherd who hasn't had the easiest life and is learning to trust the world. She spent the first 6 years of her life in a backyard with very little socialization with humans or other dogs. She has so much love and silliness to share, but she is working through her fear reactivity to new people and animals. Fruit Bat is currently enrolled in a 4-week training program to work on her socialization and fears. Although she will not be available for adoption until after she completes her training program (mid June at the earliest), please contact her foster to inquire about her training progress and learn more about her! So far, she's made incredible progress with other dogs and she would thrive in a home with multiple other dogs that she can continue learning from. She would do best in a shepherd-experienced home familiar with the shepherd stranger danger. She is absolutely loving her trainer's location with many acres of free running space, a creek, and dozens of dogs and may not be the best fit for chaotic city life as she continues to work on her behavior in public. Ideally, her adopter will also build a relationship with her trainers and commit to ongoing training as needed. Once she trusts you, she loves you with her whole heart. She loves to snuggle in bed, watch you eat dinner, and play fetch with her squeaky toys. She is a silly and affectionate girl who loves belly rubs and playing hide and seek. She enjoys running around open fields and enjoying her freedom after spending the first half of her life stuck in a backyard.
