About Cruella

Cruella is a beautiful, long-haired black German Shepherd with the sweetest soul! She genuinely believes she's a lap dog and loves to cuddle and give kisses. Cruella is fiercely loyal to her people and sticks by their side, showing off a recall that is simply saintly. She's a smart cookie who knows basic commands like sit, stay, come, lay down, and even how to shake with both paws! When she's not busy being an adorable cuddle bug, she loves to swim, play fetch, and go for car rides. She's also happy sleeping on the couch.

Ideal Home

Cruella needs an experienced German Shepherd owner who understands stranger aggression, as she can be fearful of new people. A calmer home with fewer visitors would be ideal for her. While she has been raised around children and cats, due to her prey drive, we recommend a home without either. She has lived with older male dogs and has been socialized with other animals, but a meet-and-greet with any resident dogs is a must.

Ongoing Health

Cruella has some allergy issues that haven't been fully resolved. She does best on a fish-based diet only (we recommend Salmon Diamond Naturals). She is also prone to ear infections, particularly during seasonal changes.

Training & Support

Cruella is potty trained and crate trained, though she hasn't needed a crate in years. She has zero food aggression. Her recall is excellent, and she generally stays close without much guidance.
