This beautiful girl is Dawson. She was used by a breeder and then discarded. When our volunteer met her, she was very scared and uncertain. Dawson has had very little human attention and craves to be petted and loved. When I first saw Dawson I walked up to her kennel and she pushed her nose through the bars and kissed my hand. Even though Dawson has never been loved……she is VERY loving. My heart melted and we could not leave her behind. We have reassured her that better days are coming and she is safe now.
She is currently living with 9 other GSD’s and interacts beautifully with them. Dawson is so happy to be out of the puppy mill that she runs through her Foster Mom’s yard throwing sticks in the air…..as if saying “ I’m free….. I’m free”. Dawson is an incredible dog who has survived against all odds.
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' experiences with the dog. The dog's age and weight are estimates, and statements about the health, temperament, training, and ability to get along with other animals, children, cats and other dogs, are estimated solely based on our volunteer's experiences with this dog. Your experiences with this dog may be quite different than those of our volunteers.
