Breed: German Shepard & ???

Age: 4.5 years

Story: Our neighbors daughter had brought the dog home. They had another dog, a white shepard who didn't like the Carly so he wouldn't let the her eat. We told them for aout 2 months that if they decided they didn't want the pup, we would take her. Their track record of getting pups and not keeping them made this just about guaranteed. So when the finally allowed us to take her we were delighted.

We took her to the vet to get a checkup and her shots (she'd had not ANY vet care up to that point), I asked the vet about the fact she was so skinny. He said there was nothing wrong with her that a couple of good meals wouldn't cure. Well she sure hasn't missed many meals since then.

It took us about a year to break some of the bad habits they had allowed her to learn, but now I'm having trouble hanging on to my dog. Everyone says, "If you every want to get rid of her, I'll take her!" No way - wouldn't trade her for a million dollars - she's a sweetie!!

Shelter: No rescued from bad situation before she had to go to a shelter.
