All interaction between animals and children should be supervised at all times.
Dixie is a 2 year old female with a sensitive, sweet personality. She loves to give kisses and puts her head under your hand for some loving. Dixie is shy at first but warms up to people and dogs. She is learning how to chew on dog things. Dixie is a quick learner and learned to sit with her foster. She is on the smaller side. She patiently watches squirrels and gives chase when they cross the fence! Dixie’s new family will not have cats. She is heartworm negative and recently spayed. Dixie is submissive to the large male shepherd in her foster home. She is an active participant in rough and tumble play though! Dixie is settling nicely into kennel training with a treat or frozen kong. She needs an owner who will help her gain confidence, reinforce proper chew toys, and to train basic dog behaviors. Dixie will make a wonderful addition to a home.
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.
