They thrive when they have a job to do and a person to please. These dogs are confident, trainable, and often protective of their families. While they enjoy outdoor activities and mental challenges, they are equally happy relaxing at home with their people. With proper training and affection, a German Shepherd like Missy is a dependable and devoted best friend. Missy’s Story & Personality: Missy spent most of her early life living outside, but now she’s loving the comforts of an indoor home and being part of the family. She enjoys lounging on the couch or her dog bed in the evenings and playing fetch or exploring the yard during the day. She does well with larger dogs but isn’t a fan of cats or small animals. Missy walks nicely on a leash but can get excited when setting out on an adventure. Her leash manners are improving with gentle redirection. She has settled wonderfully into home life and is always eager to be near her people. Missy’s Perfect Home: A home with a securely fenced yard Someone who enjoys walks, hikes, or playing fetch in the yard A family looking for a loyal, affectionate dog Another similarly sized dog would be a bonus playmate No cats or small pets in the home A household where she won’t be left alone too long—she loves her people!
