Chelsea is a female German shepherd dog female who is estimated to be 2.5 years old. She was turned in to the local Houston area kill shelter. She had mild mange and was very underweight. We suspect that she was used as a breeder dog. She is a very sweet dog and is focused on her humans. She loves to get petted and has been fine with other dogs. She rode in the car with another AGSDR foster dog, Phoenix without problems. Chelsea is spayed and fully vetted. She was heartworm positive but has been treated and will not have any long term problems related to this. She is a very smart girl. She is currently in a board and train facility in Austin.
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.
