About Kennedy

This sweet girl melts every time you kiss or cuddle her. She immediately flops down on her back for belly rubs so she can maximize the affection! How adorable is that?! She is a sucker for cuddlers. Kennedy is content to just chill and hang out with you and be the neighborhood watchers. Now, she will bark if she feels people are coming too close into her space. Just a ‘hey, what do you think you’re doing’ bark. She does the same if she is out in the yard and she senses intrusions like a bird flying over and some strong smells. Nothing ‘aggressive’, just her German Shepherd genes coming on display. Alert bark, if you will. Out on a walk, Kennedy walks wonderfully. She may pull initially from excitement, but as the walk progresses, she eases into a nice, comfortable walk. She stops when you stop walking. She pays attention to what you stopped for and follows suit. She sits beside you and waits for you to do what you stopped to do. Here and during her walks, Kennedy stays alert to her surroundings. A little reassurance from you and she will relax :) Kennedy is wonderful with dogs. She is friendly with just about any dog, any size. If you are a fan of outdoor patio dining, Kennedy is amazing. She is also wonderful in a large crowd, festival style gathering. And oh, she loves car rides! Kennedy is 7 months old, 60lb Shepsky. She is looking for a family where hugs and cuddles are abundant :)

Ideal Home

A family with older children who will engage with her or involve her in their activities would be wonderful. A playful family pup is a plus! A fenced yard is preferred.

Ongoing Health

Training & Support

Kennedy may bark when she feels people are too close to her space or senses intrusions in the yard. A little reassurance from her humans will help her relax.
