Meet Donna!
Donna is a brilliant and bouncy three-year-old German Shepherd mix with a dazzling blend of athleticism, affection, and a swirl of brindle beauty. With her sleek black-brindle coat and eager eyes, Donna turns heads, but it's her heart that truly shines. She's the total package for anyone who loves an intelligent, energetic, and incredibly devoted companion. Donna adores her people and is a gentle snuggler who will rest her head in your lap, quietly soaking up affection and offering her unconditional love in return. She has done wonderfully with children ages 7-12 and enjoys being part of the everyday rhythm of family life. When left alone, Donna does best crated, as she can get a bit too creative with bedding or household items. But when her needs are met, physically and mentally, she blossoms into the most loyal shadow you'll ever have.
Ideal Home
Donna is a high-energy girl who needs more than just a stroll around the block; she needs real adventure and consistent engagement to be at her happiest. She will thrive as the only pet in her new loving home, as she is dog-reactive. A patient and experienced pet parent who understands her sensitivities will be essential, especially given a recent unfortunate experience with an off-leash dog attacking her.
Ongoing Health
No ongoing health concerns to report.
Training & Support
Donna is house-trained, crate-trained, and knows all the basics thanks to her sharp mind and food-motivated nature. She thrives on structure, positive reinforcement, and brain games that challenge her natural instincts. While loud noises or unfamiliar sights might cause her to pause, a calm voice and gentle reassurance bring her right back. She has shown great progress with leash training and has even walked calmly beside another dog after a guided session.
