Orchid – Smart, Playful, and Affectionate
Orchid is a 1.5-year-old, 45-pound German Shepherd mix who is an incredibly smart girl with a playful spirit and a sweet side. She’s been thriving in foster with adults, teenagers, and resident dogs.
Smart & Well-Trained: Orchid has excellent name recall and knows several cues. She’s potty trained, crate trained, and can be left crated for almost 6 hours. She may jump or give small excited nips playfully for attention but responds well to “crate” to walk away or lie down. Playful & Fun: She loves her toys, running and zoomie. She gets along well with the resident dogs. Sweet & Building Confidence: Orchid can be initially hesitant with new people but slow introductions help her warm up and become affectionate. Learning Good House Manners: Orchid is still working on leash skills and calm greeting as she can also be vocal when unfamiliar people arrive.
Orchid would do best with appropriately matched dogs or as a solo dog with well-matched canine friends. Click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.
