Location: Atlanta Georgia (Dekalb County Animal Services) Breed: Solid Fawn Shepherd/Whippet Mix? Gender: Female Age: 1yr Weight: ~50 pounds Details: Shelter name is 'Loosie' Pet ID { 56948120} Adoption fee $85.00 and includes neuter/spay, vaccines, and microchip. Description: Sensitive Loosie presents poorly in the shelter environment and is simply terrified here. Avoidant and anxious of both dogs and people, but despite her shyness, she attempts to be sweet and gentle with people. (Soft hand licks and offers eye contact). Limited food drive. Does not pull-on leash, easy to physically handle. If presented with a 'fight or flight' situation, she leans towards 'flight'. Health: Fluid joint movement, clean low maintenance short haired coat. Clear eyes, pearl white teeth, even balanced gait. No visible injuries - long slender legs. Suitability: Would make a pretty project dog for a patient and calm household (with no dogs, no children, no cats). Perfect for an older quiet couple, or even a single young adult looking for an easy 'first shepherd' given her submissive nature and medium size. Fenced in yard recommended, or at least a very strict containment protocol until her confidence, recall, and a strong owner-pet bond has been formed. Could blossom into a beautiful jogging partner given her athletic body type. She's certainly easy on the eyes ;) isn't she? Adoption Process: Adopters must come in person to adopt. This applies whether you are out of state or in state as an adopter. (If she moves into foster care, you will be able to meet her out of the shelter, which would be the better environment to interact with her in anyways!)
