Description
Stunning Suzie and her buddy, Bubba, were picked up as strays in the south. Although both dogs were friendly, when the pair arrived in an overcrowded shelter they were on borrowed time. Unfortunately, with numbers at critical levels in most places, many shelters are struggling to keep up with the number of animals needing placement. Hoping to ensure that as many animals as possible make it out alive, shelter staff are doing everything they can to transfer dogs to reputable groups. When Suzie and Bubba were not claimed by a family, they were both placed on the list to be euthanized. Knowing that these dogs deserved the chance to move forward, a plea went out to the GSD community for help. Although we were also sitting near capacity, we knew both dogs were out of options. Team MAGSR began working with other groups in the area to pull both dogs to safety at the last second.
Suzie is a stunning girl. Intelligent, active, and friendly, she is an adventurous girl with plenty of shepherd energy. As is typical of the breed, Suzie is looking for a forever family that will exercise both her body and her mind on a daily basis. This will help her develop the stability and confidence needed to become a good canine citizen. In many ways a blank slate, Suzie does not yet know general leash or household expectations. However, as a praise and food motivated girl, we know Suzie will pick up these skills quickly. Our volunteers have already begun working with Suzie to begin this process. As she moves forward, training will be critical to her success. Not only will training help Suzie develop a healthy bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop the skills needed to meet with success. Suzie is looking for an active forever family that will provide her with the structure, routine, and leadership that all GSDs crave. If this special girl sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today!
