Child Interaction Observations
All interaction between animals and children should be supervised at all times.
Athena is a spunky little girl and very vocal. She had a rough start in life with needing to have a broken leg repaired at 6 weeks old and only 4.5 lbs but is now ready to find her forever home! She has tons of energy so she would do well with a family that is active and has time to play with her. She wants to be involved in everything you do and will follow you around. She does well with other dogs and loves everyone, but she is still a puppy who is learning manners. She has been kenneled at night and is starting to learn to cry when she needs to go outside, but potty training is still a work in process.
Due to her previous injury, her very small size currently 10 lbs, and still learning to not chew on people and things, we feel she would do best in a home with older children..
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.
