 Please
meet Shasta and and her sister Star. Their story is a sad one
because they were only 4 weeks old when someone put them and
their other 3 siblings in a box and left them on the side of a
busy highway to die. One of these puppies got out of the box and
was on the highway when a kind person driving past saw that it
was a puppy in the road and stopped to pick it up. To his
amazement the puppy ran back to a box and that is where to his
amazement he found the other 4 babies all huddled together
inside. He called a volunteer with Austin German Shepherd Rescue
to see if we could take them in and of course we weren't about
to say no to these babies.
Shasta
is the more outgoing one and shows a lot of independence in her
personality. Although when she gets tired she is ready to climb
up in your lap and just take some down time. She love to cuddle,
but mostly she love to explore things.
 She
is learning to go potty outside and is doing quite well with
this, but as everyone knows puppies have accidents and have to
go outside more often than grown dogs, so being confined when
you are away is a good thing till she is fully
housebroke. She stays in the fosters bathroom with a baby gate
while she is at work and has not had any pooping accidents
while she is away.
Won't you give Shasta a home that
will love her for the rest of her life?
She deserves so much better than how her life started out (in a
box, abandoned and left to die). If you are interested in Shasta please fill out an application and then visit
her in Houston. Shasta
promises you will fall in love with her.
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. |
