Cherokee

My story

Sex: FemaleBreed: German ShepherdEstimated Date of Birth : 05/13/2019Reserved, a bit stoic and a little shy Cherokee is a good girl who doesn’t feel it’s necessary to be extra animated all of the time. But her reserved shy nature is only a mask. She’s incredibly sweet and very affectionate with everyone she meets once she’s comfortable. She simply chooses not to be a bubbly and bouncy dog. This serious girl is also fantastic with every dog she’s met. Shes a bit more forward with those intros but is just super happy to meet new canine friends. Cherokees more serious demeanor was the perfect fit to pair down the enthusiastic energy of a few of the younger dogs at Tehachapi State prison so she’s joining the ranks on A yard! Cherokee was picked up as a stray by our county shelter. She waited a month hoping her family would claim her and when no one came she held out hope that an adopter would give her a chance. With so many other stray dogs hoping for the same thing she didn’t stand a chance. Sadly so many shepherds never make it out of public shelters alive. There are too many of them and not enough people willing to adopt. But we saw Cherokee and despite her initial shyness we saw the calm good girl we knew she would be. Cherokee is getting her 2nd chance in Pawsitive Change and we’re hopeful the perfect family will appreciate her energy level and give her a fantastic home. Cherokee will be spending the next several months training at Tehachapi prison. They’ll be working on boosting her confidence and giving her skills most adopters want. While training she’ll be searching for the perfect adoptive home. A home willing to give her time to be comfortable so she can be the sweet, affectionate girl we all know. Think you have that home? Please apply today and give Cherokee the family she’s been waiting to find!
