Rose (Roxy)

Rose, also known as Roxy, is a 10-year-old, 85lb German Shepherd mix who embodies all the best qualities of her breed. She's intelligent, observant, deeply bonded to her person, and protective of her space. This senior girl has a strong mind and a lifetime of instincts, and she's searching for a special adopter who understands Shepherd behavior and appreciates a dog with presence and personality. She's housetrained and crate-trained, with solid basic manners, and responds well to structure and commands. Roxy handles food without issues and is fine with routine care. She needs an experienced handler who is confident and consistent, as she is a Shepherd through and through. Her handlers have been documenting her progress with leash handling while she's been in boarding.

Ideal Home

Rose will thrive with a Shepherd-savvy adopter in a calm, structured environment. She would do best with someone who appreciates a dog that bonds deeply and prefers a predictable routine. She needs a home that understands her breed and respects her boundaries. She has had a negative reaction to livestock and horses, so a home without them is essential.
