My rescue girl.
I picked this girl up from one of the local GSD rescues, the second they brought her out to me she latched on and refused to leave me so of course I couldn't say no.

Re: My rescue girl.
She's a beauty...and nice that you sought out a dog to adopt. (From the eyes up, she kind of reminds me of Kelly's Koenig (?) )
More pictures are necessary, of course.
Did the rescue know what she was??? They often don't....

After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger.

Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.

Pretty girl!! Be careful with the Tennis Balls, they can choke to death.

Re: My rescue girl.
Welcome to the forum!
What a beautiful girl
I have a rescue DS as well. The first month is what they call the "honeymoon" phase. Like they try to be extra well behaved, not to screw things up and end up in the shelter again. When they wiggled themselves into our hearts and feel safe that the "return period" is over, they "let the hair down" and show their wild personality.

Re: My rescue girl.
Thanks guys! she's been a joy the first month or two of having her was the hardest, she didn't know anything now we're going for intermediate obedience and starting some local nosework classes.
as for the tennis balls they lasted maybe the 15 min then I had to take them from her good thing for those indestructible kong balls.
We went backpacking for 4 days in the backcountry, It was awesome to see her run around and try to catch chipmunks
She was growling at something all night.
and finally sleeping

Re: My rescue girl.
nice looking dog!!
She's not trying to catch chipmunks, she is trying to talk to fellow brindled creatures!
