Tequila’s
history
– Tequila was surrendered to the Animal Shelter due to the death
of her owner and the children were unable to keep her. Her
surrender notes said she gets along with other dogs, cats, kids,
etc.. She was heartworm
positive, but has been treated and completed her recovery
period. It
has been observed that Tequila would like to chase cats if given
the opportunity.
Tequila’s age was stated at 6 Years old on 8-07 by her owner
surrender papers.
The shelter estimated her to be 8 years old.
Appearance –
She is a lovely White German Shepherd dog, with beautiful dark
eyes that just gaze up
at you.
Housetraining
At
the foster’s home Tequila has not made any mistakes in the house
when she is loose. I do work during the day so long periods
inside isn’t 100% known .
She is crated inside for bedtime.
She makes no mistakes in her crate, and will whine/cry if
she does need to go outside.
Social Habits & Temperament –
Tequila gets along very well with 2/3 GSD residents.
The 3rd resident
dog has her own alpha female issues.
Tequila is not food aggressive, takes treats gently.
She is curious and not fearful.
She likes to investigate the bullfrogs that have taken up
residence by the Koi pond.
She sniffs at them, they jump, and so does she. It’s
really cute to watch. She likes to play with toys, and be loved
on. She does not
jump up on people. She
would be a great companion to be active with and then come home
and veg out with her human. She is really a lovely, fun dog that
wants to please. She is a full size German Shepherd dog that
currently lives only with other German Shepherd dogs.
There isn’t any available access to small dogs or cats so
I don't know how she would interact with them.
Leadership Requirements
– Tequila has
a calm, happy nature.
She is good around other calm well adjusted dogs that are
her size. She is
eager to please and once she understands what you want her to
do, she learns quickly.
Tequila is healthy, playful and very sweet.
She is spayed, current on vaccinations, completed her heartworm
treatment and recovery, and stays on heartworm and flea
preventive.
 
NOTE: In our experience many German Shepherd Dogs are
very good with kids. In our bios, we may provide
information on our experience with a particular dog and
children. However AGSDR discourages ALL unsupervised
animal/child interaction. Children should be supervised at all
times when they interact with ANY animal, whether it is a horse,
dog, cat, bunny, lizard, or any other species. Even loving
household pets can have a grumpy day, or otherwise get tired of
a child's attention, so proper supervision is essential for the
well being of any child and any pet.
The entire biography of this dog is based
solely upon our volunteers' direct experiences with the dog. The
dog's age is an estimate, and statements about the state of
health, temperament, training, and ability to get along with
other animals, children, cats and other dogs, is estimated
solely based on our volunteer's experiences with this dog. Your
experiences with this dog may be quite different. |
