Meet Chloe! Big dog. Big personality. BIG fan of having fun. At 83 pounds, Chloe is not exactly a lap dog… although she may have some differing opinions on that. This beautiful 4-year-old German Shepherd/Doberman mix has the classic coloring of a Shepherd, a unique tailless tush, and a whole lot of love to give.Chloe was adopted from us about two years ago, and sadly, she has recently found herself back at the shelter because her owner`s health issues made it impossible to continue caring for her. But don`t let her second chance fool you—this girl is ready to get back to the good life. And what a wonderful family dog she is. Chloe lived happily with another German Shepherd and was reported to be great with children. Because Chloe is a big, energetic girl, we feel older children would be the best fit. She is also wonderfully behaved in the home. Her family never needed to crate her because Chloe could be trusted to roam the house like the good girl she is. She`s also reported to be housetrained.Chloe is an active girl`s girl and would LOVE a family that enjoys doing things. Long walks? YES. Hiking adventures? ABSOLUTELY. Running around the yard? SIGN HER UP. Agility? LET`S GO! She`s smart, athletic, and eager to have a job to do. Give Chloe a family that wants to keep her body and brain busy, and you`re going to have one happy Shepherd mix.There is one important thing you should know about Chloe: she has prey drive. Rabbits, deer, squirrels, and basically anything else that scurries, darts, or runs away can activate her inner Olympic sprinter. Because of this, Chloe requires a physically fenced-in yard. A fence will allow her to safely enjoy outdoor time without turning every backyard critter into her next personal chase challenge.Her compatibility with cats is unknown, so a cat-free home may be the safest choice. If you do have cats, please keep Chloe`s prey drive firmly in mind.Chloe is available through our Foster-to-Adopt Program, which means you can welcome her into your home while she completes her veterinary care. She`s already spayed and microchipped, so she`s ready to start her next chapter.To add this beautiful girl to your family, please email dogadoptions@parmashelter.org and complete an online dog adoption application. Chloe`s adoption fee is $160.Chloe has already had a loving home, and now she`s hoping for the forever family who will give her the active, happy life she deserves. If
