Notes: This beautiful 3 year old German Shepherd girl needs a forever or foster home. When she first arrived at the shelter, she was covered in ticks and fleas, but she has been treated and is now feeling a bit better. Unfortunately, she is heartworm positive and is currently undergoing treatment for them. Despite her past, she walks wonderfully on a leash and takes treats very gently.
She seems to be more comfortable around women right now, but with some patience, we are hopeful she will open up to everyone. She has so much love to give and is ready to start her new life, healthier and loved.
