  • 4 month old German Shepherd needs home

    Basically the story goes;
    My friends, co workers sons little daughters saw 2 german shepherds playing in their yard. She opened the front door and they walked right in. They called animal control, police departments, searched all of the lost pet websites and nobody reported them missing. They even scanned for a chip and no luck. They were wandering outside I am guessing for probably a few days or even a week. They were full of burrs, dirty and a little bit underweight. Since then they have had a nice bath and food.
    Since nobody has even made an attempt to claim them they are looking to place this one in a home. The neighbor is taking the other one, but they have never owned a german shepherd before so they are taking it as a trial.

    Some of the information that we are pretty sure about this one is that judging by it's ears and it's weight it is about 4 months old. It's a female, not fixed. By the colors and the stance it is definately purebred and it's got the show dog stance.
    She seems to have a pretty good tempermant. I took her to the German Shepherd club yesterday and had her around 20+ dogs and she seemed excited to greet them and she also liked attention from people. She's a really good looking dog.
    She does have an eye defect though. Her eyelid didn't develop correctly at birth and it droops. We thought it got caught on something when they were roaming free, but they took it to a vet and it just hangs a little low. It has hair growing next to it. If you trim it I am sure it will look a lot better. The vet says it does not affect her vision at all and it CAN be fixed with surgery, but I am not sure how much it costs.
    If you would like this dog PLEASE make sure you have experience with this breed of dog and have the time for it. Do your research. They can be a lot of work, especially for the first few years. I would just hate to see it go from home to home. If we don't find a home for it, a lady at the german shepherd club owns a german shepherd rescue and would find a home for it.
    If you are interested I can give out an email or phone number.
    Shes located in Aurora.

          They were hoping to adopt it out right away, but they didn't and since it was found outside they took it to the vet to get checked out and get all of it's shots . It cost them $235. They are not concerned with the money, they would just like it to go to a good home. If it were me I would probably throw them at least something since I would have to get the puppy shots on my own anyway.

            My last dog was a German Shepherd! They're such good dogs, but they do require socialization. We didn't socialize our dog and we found out that once she hit about 5 years old she'd charge other dogs if she wasn't on a leash. But she was great around kids because I was about 13 when my parents bought her.

            Anyway, I can't take her, but I hope somebody does. They are very smart and loving dogs. Ours never barked and loved to eat bees. I miss her.

              Yeah mine was such a pain in the butt when we first got her. She was like a wind up toy that never wound down. I found a dog training facility that worked with us and has been great. I train her twice a week and she did a complete turn around.
              This is her playin in the snow.

                  BOTH dogs are now up for adoption. I will have the one without the eye problem at the German Shepherd club in Hanover Park from 7-8:30ish if anyone wants to see her.
