Ziva

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Young

Evanston, IL

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I adopted Zivah 2 years ago while living in Denver. She’s a high energy ball of love! I got her right after her back leg was amputated and shes been sprinting ever since. She loves other dogs and going on hikes. She is also great with our son (18mo)! However, due to the abuse she sustained as a puppy (the reason for losing her back leg) she has a fear of new people. While she has never even come close to biting anyone, having a GSD barking at anyone that comes over has been issue especially now that my son is having play dates. We are looking to rehome with some that can provide her plenty of outdoor time and lots of love.

Please contact C.A.R.E. for more information about this pet.FalcoCURRENTLY IN A FOSTER HOME BUT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AFTER THE SHELTER IN PLACE ORDER IS LIFTEDShepherd Mix, Born in 2019, Neutered male Falco, at your service! I’m a smart boy who learns fast, but I would do best with someone experienced with young, strong, intense dogs like me. My dream family will have a secure fenced yard where I can zoom-zoom-play, older kids who can handle my energy, and maybe another dog to be my buddy--but it has to be the right dog! I can’t wait for us to go to Obedience Training together so you can help me be the best canine citizen I can be. I already know Sit, Down and Stay. I am very impressive with Wait for my food bowl. I tend to gulp my food so puzzle feeders help me slow down. For fun, I LOVE to fetch tennis balls! I’m always looking and listening to things around me so I can alert you about squirrels or passers-by or mailmen and the like—that’s why a house would be better than an apartment for me. Adoption Information: Size: Medium / weighs 45 bs. Children: Yes, Older Dogs: Selective Cats: Unknown Adoption Fee: $300 This dog is neutered, microchipped and has had a full veterinary checkup and vaccines.
