About SHARIFAH

Sharifah is an absolute beauty, about 4-6 years old, and possesses wonderful qualities like intelligence, vigilance, affection, and playfulness. Her primary purpose, from her perspective, is to love and protect you, making her as loyal as loyal gets! While amazing, Sharifah is not for everyone. She is highly intelligent but also a bit insecure, which means she'll thrive with a leader who can provide consistent guidance and confidence. She finds relief in following a clear lead and appreciates knowing what is expected of her. Once she feels safe, she bonds deeply and is eager to connect, showing great appreciation for those she accepts. She will certainly have your back, and knowing you have hers will bring out the absolute best version of her.

Ideal Home

Sharifah thrives in a structured and secured environment, valuing a loving and engaging connection. We envision her in a home with at least two adults. A defined community of people she can regularly interact with would be ideal, and a willingness to expand her comfort zone would be a bonus, though not required as she would be fulfilled with an intimate circle of friends. Sharifah is not fond of strangers in her home.

Ongoing Health

No specific health concerns were mentioned in the listing.

Training & Support

Sharifah attended a boot camp and did well once properly introduced to staff and other dogs. Continual training will do wonders for her, and the possibilities are endless. She is both house and crate trained. She requires some level of socialization and will benefit greatly from routine training and enrichment.
