PLEASE READ COMPLETE BIO TO BE SURE YOU HAVE ALL INFORMATION & NEXT STEPS.

SHANIA  is spayed, rabies, core vaccines, de-wormed, heartworm & tick-disease tested Negative and micro-chipped, she weighs around 16 pounds and has an estimated date of birth of 21May 2014.

SHANIA is the sweetest little dog ever. She is so affectionate and sweet, but she is not overly-needy as some small dogs are. She takes a few minutes to decide if she feels safe with you, but when she has decided she likes you, stand-by for the hugs, wiggles and giggles as she runs around and gets up on your lap for her belly rubbing and cuddles.

SHANIA gets on good with other dogs, she has been around big dogs and does OK, she has her safe spots that she will go to if she wants a bit of time out. She plays with the little dogs and wrestles, with lots of wiggles in the wrestling. We do n ot have cats at the rescue, so I cannot say how she would react. Speculating on how she has been so far, I do not think she would be interested and if she did have any curiosity I think training her out of it would be easy as she will do anything for cuddles and affection, but this of course would take time and patience.

SHANIA rides great in the car, she did prefer riding on my lap, but soon found her comfy spot on the side shelf watching the world pass her by.  SHANIA has learnt to use the dog door, however, she does very much prefer to go in and out an opened door.

As with all dogs SHANIA would benefit from basic and advanced training, she is eager to please and I think would make good progress. She would love a family that will take her on road-trips and adventures to let her explore the sights, sounds and smells the world has to offer.

SHANIA  is available for adoption through Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog Rescue for an adoption fee of $450. This fee is not negotiable and is used to cover the rescue costs of pulling, vetting, health certificate, transport from Texas to Maine, monthly preventatives, supplements, food and anything else that is needed.

SHANIA is located at the rescue in Sebec, Maine. We post in various states along the east coast and Canada where we have had lots of successful adoptions to enable more exposure for these beautiful saved souls. Families will need to be prepared to travel to the rescue to meet and take home their new best friend. There is a local hotel in Dover-Foxcroft that is pet-friendly (approx 6 miles) and several in Bangor (approx 45 miles). There are also lots of wonderful camp-sites for the more adventurous families and what a great way to get to know your new best friend.
