Notes from Virginia German Shepherd Rescue

Come and meet your new family member. Mika is a 2 year old GSD with high level energy, intelligence and confidence. She requires an experienced German Shepherd dog handler. She has a history of a left rear leg fracture which was plated in early December. Her fracture is healing but she is still under the care of her orthopedic surgeon. We are without restrictions now for all activities. She will likely need the hardware in her left tib/fib removed some time this year. She is swum daily to build muscles and coordination as she loves the pool. She is worked daily in obedience with ball reward. She is an intelligent, high level energy, intense working line GSD with capped drives. Her intensity and drives require daily obedience training and constant management by a knowledged GSD owner. She has connection, communications and relationship with her humans. She knows advanced obedience, is potty trained, crate trained and has a high level energy. She has food drive, ball drive and prey drive. She lives to engage with her family. If you are an approved adopter, have breed and working line GSD experience with a physically fenced yard (no invisibles fences please) and are interested in learning more about Mika please email her foster at sperciav@comcast.net
