Shirley is a 2 year old altered female german shepard mix with a black and brown coat.
notes from the foster:
Shirley is a very sweet dog who is also very shy and takes a while to warm up to people. After living with her foster for eight months, Shirley is more relaxed, frequently wagging her tail, and finally confident enough to come in the house to get out of her sunbathing routine.
She walks well on a leash but occasionally startles at noisy cars going buy. While she does notice cats and squirrels, she is easily distracted to continue her walk.
Shirley would love to find another dog to play with. She tries to engage her foster brother GSD, but he is more of a sniffy dog than a good playmate.
I believe Shirley would do well with older children. She will need someone who is very patient and can continue to work with her on her basic commands like “Come” and “Sit”. Patience will be the key to winning her over as it may take time for this traumatized girl to learn to trust and love again.
Shirely has only had an accident in the house when left locked inside for too long. She’s good in the car and at the Vet’s office. Even though she may be afraid or anxious with new people she has never growled, bared her teeth or attempted to bite her foster mother.
