Emily is a sweet, gentle, pretty girl that we rescued from a very crowded kill shelter in Oklahoma.  Emily is approximately 4 years old. She's a little bit shy at first, but once she knows you, she enjoys belly rubs and she shows you her playful side. She's a sweet, loyal girl who is crate-trained, potty-trained, and knows her basic commands. Emily tends to be reactive to strange dogs and needs very slow introductions over days to new dogs. Because of that, we would like to find Emily a home where she can be the only pet. However, we will consider experienced homes with another laid back dog, who are willling to do slow introductions. Emily loves car rides and enjoys walks (she is learning to ignore other dogs on walks, and is doing great!). She is a lovable, very pleasant, and laid-back companion to have around the house.  This girl will make a very lucky adopter very happy!

Like all German Shepherds, this darling girl would make a great addition to an active, experienced home that will provide the love, structure, good leadership, activity and mental stimulation that she needs. Because of that, Emily's ideal owner will have prior GSD, or similar breed experience. Even if you exercise and play with your dog daily in your fenced yard, please remember that you MUST still take your dog out on daily walks and outings, in order to provide sufficient stimulation, ward off boredom, and work on leash skills, and manners.

Emily's adoption fee is $350, all of which goes back into offseting our high-cost vetting expenses and rescuing more dogs. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, fecal, deworming, flea/tick and heartworm preventative, heartworm tested if old enough (treated if positive), and microchipped.
