German Shepherd Dog - Large - Young - Female - Dog - Lady
Description
This cute little 'Lady' has had quite a rough start in life.  As a puppy she nearly froze to death - Her first owner was traveling in the middle of winter with her and one of her siblings in the back of an open truck.  A couple who saw them at a truck stop bought the puppies just to save their lives!  Lady and her sibling were nursed back to health, and her sibling was able to find a new home.Lady stayed with the couple, but they already had too many dogs of their own, so Lady had to spend a lot of time in an outdoor kennel, with only a little exercise and attention each day.  They asked if we could help find Lady a good home, where she would get the love, attention and exercise that a young dog like her needs.Lady is now in a loving foster home, but has some hurdles to overcome.  She is now housetrained and crate trained.  She is very gentle with any age child, and would make a great companion for any kid!  But she is showing aggression towards other dogs.  This is something that she did not experience in her prior home, as she lived with many of them of all sizes.  Because of this, we are hoping that this behavior will be worked through with some training, and as she feels more secure.  But saddest of all, Lady is terrified of any man.  She is slowly warming up to her foster Dad, but if any other man gets even remotely close to her, she crouches to the floor in fear and urinates. So, this little Lady will take some patience and work, but we are confident she will be worth it in the end!  How rewarding it will be to mold her into a happy, confident, healthy girl!!!Lady has had such a rough start in life, we know there is someone who will open their heart and home to keep her loved and safe for the rest of her years.Please feel free to fill out an ADOPTION APPLICATION on our main website, www.midwestanimalrescue.org, by clicking on the Form/Applications link under Website Features.Thank You!   or
