I haven't been given permission to cross post this message yet (I'm hoping that the poster will eventually give it to me) but the thought of someone's great GSD bitch being spayed without their knowledge bothers me. Perhaps someone on this list knows who this dog belonged to? It comes from my tracking list. Mary-Anne I hope this is allowed. I'm fostering a gorgeous German Shepherd bitch that was brought to me at a dog show this weekend. Straight from a kill shelter in Indiana. This bitch is not only gorgeous and moves like a dream with and has rear better than most, BUT she is also obedience trained to the T! She heals, stops when I stop...and watches. I proceed she heals along, I turn, she turns with me.....sigh.....my dream dog.:>) She downs, stays and knows the "wait" command. I can move around her and she stays, even stays when I return and waits for a command. She's crate trained, does not like being outside but will gait across my yard and back to the door to be let in. She does wiggle the gate latch, so she's wise to how a gate opens. I can't believe no one looked for this girl. She was in the Fort Wayne Animal Shelter for a month, but not put in the adoption ward as she wouldn't relax. I'm sure she can track, and may already but have yet to test her. If anyone is looking for a great GSD, please email all4animalsrescue@xxxxxxxx We are in Indiana. This is NOT a couch potato. Please enquire about Sameria aka Gretchen. She is listed on petfinder.com.L<( I am simply the foster mom who also shows dogs and know a great dog when I see one. She is not the typical shelter throw away dog.:>( I have a photo if interested or see her on the petfinder page. She is scheduled for spay tomorrow morning, which I wish could be done later but this dog is thinking that she's in her new home already.
