Cross Breeds

Does anyone want a wonderful German Shepherd?

She's a German Shepherd, spayed, one year old. She is housetrained, UTD on HW and flea/tick preventative, and she doesn't chew on anything but her toys. She is healthy, and current on shots. She's loyal, affectionate, and protective, and knows obedience commands in German. She needs to be an ONLY dog, as she is not getting along with the other dog or the cats in my house. There was a dog fight yesterday, and I realized that I can't keep both dogs, and I figured the GSD would have a better chance at finding a new home than the mixed breed mutt. Her only other problem is that sometimes she will bark and lunge at the leash when she sees another dog, but she is getting better, and with some work, she should stop that behavior completely. A small adoption fee applies, and I'd prefer to meet any potential adoptors to make sure she is a good fit for their family. Pictures are available upon request. I live in the Tuscaloosa, AL area. Thanks! I've already contacted the local GSD rescue group, but they may not take her, because she's not a papered purebred. I've got an ad on craigslist; thanks for the suggestion! If I had the means to keep them separated, I would, but I work 24 hour shifts, and it's impractical to expect either dog to be happy in that situation. Did I mention that the GSD nearly killed the other dog? I don't feel safe around her anymore... (and she tried to kill my kitten twice!)

1. Contact a trainer to find out how to get your dogs to get along. Dont give up on the dog. She wouldnt give up on you.
2. Try posting an adoption ad (for free) on your local Craigslist.com in the Pets section.
3. Please call a German Shepard Rescue Group so that you know your dog will be safe. I hope you will because, even if you meet the people who would want to adopt your dog, you can't really trust them.
4. The best thing for you to try before giving her up is to get in touch with a good dog trainer. I don't know who there is in your state but in WI there is a web site for dogs best friend by Chas Rooney. Please check it out. He helped our abused Shepherd with a lot of the same issues as yours. Good luck. She loves you and deserves this chance.
5. If you got the Sheppard first, then i think your mean. thats not fair to it, another dog comes into its home, and you just give him away.
6. Papers mean nothing when it comes to rescue. Unfortunately a rescue will not take a Shepherd if it is not placeable. I would try contacting a trainer dealing with Shepherds. Also, you can contact any local Law Enforcement agencies to see if they would like to test her to see if they would want her to use as a K9. She needs good ball drive for this. She obviously has prey drive. You will not get paid anything if a LEO want's her for street work. Focus on finding her a good placement instead of the money please.
