Hello,
I'm a volunteer with the Lexington Humane Society, and I am
currently fostering a female adult German Shepherd (about 2+ years
old). Both she and her sister came in as owner give ups, and from
the way they act they were in abusive situations. Callie, our
foster, is an incredibly sweet dog. She's crate trained and house
trained (although she could use with some obedience: down, sit, etc)
and gets along well with our great dane, chow, yorkie, and cat.
Callie gets very scared and upset when on the adoption floor in her
kennel,backing herself into a corner and whimpering. If someone
tries to put a leash on her in that situation she tends to start
shrieking (I call it her banshee scream). She also did this at our
house for the first two days she was there, but then stopped.
I am contacting you in the hopes that you or someone you know would
have room for Callie and her sister in your lives. I would be happy
to bring the dogs out for you to meet and evaluate yourself. I
would love to keep Callie for myself, however, we live in a rental
home and our landlords have set the limit on dogs at 3. Please let
me know if you or someone you know might have room in for her.
Thanks!
Kelly Smith
