I am currently fostering a purebred Shepherd who was rescued five years ago. I've only had her for less than a week and she needs more time with me to get comfortable. I just took her picture while she was hanging out with my little dog so she could have her potty break. My big princess had her walk earlier and I am 71. She doesn't pull on her leash so I can walk her without any problem. She became comfortable with my little dog quickly. We are learning "Come" "Stay" & she already knows "No." I am totally enjoying my time with her so I hope I get to keep her for a little while. She wants to be hugged, scratched, so she needs her own person to mother her. She doesn't want to be left alone. She follows me into every room. She is timid, lacks confidence and training. I'm in the picture for as long as she needs me to get her started with training basic vocabulary, and she knows a few commands. But I feel she is an excellent adoption candidate for a home/couple placement. I'm in the picture until I find her the right placement. I don't have the heart to place her into a formal rescue because of caging. But she is not aggressive that you need to worry about people's safety. She is a lover and in a happy setting, she will do well anyway because she has such a sweet disposition. I will continue to work with her; I'm hoping for an adopting family/couple/person somewhere down the line. She likes children. I don't find any problem with this dog except we know she was abused, her personality is needy and she needs TLC. There will be a rehoming fee.
