This post is long overdue. I kept telling myself I wasn't featuring Blondie because it was more important to feature the dogs in other foster homes. But if I am being totally honest I didn't feature her because I love her and she loves me. And moving her to her forever home scares me and makes me sad.
But Blondie deserves more than I can give her in my home. And that's what rescue is about, keeping them safe in our homes until we can find them their perfect forever homes.
Blondie is an amazing dog. She is German Shepherd through and through. Sensitive and stubborn, hard headed and loyal. She and I have butted heads over the last 8 months, but through training and time she has become a wonderful companion. There is one thing we haven't been able to overcome to make her perfect for our home and that is her prey drive. While she is trained to listen to me, I will never feel comfortable letting her free range in my home with my little dogs. Because of this she spends way too much time in a down stay command, both here at the clinic and at my home.
My dreams for Blondie? A home and an owner she can bond with like she has with me. Blondie wants to be with her person more than anything else in life. Someone who can give her guidance but also more freedom.
Blondie is housebroken and crated trained but honestly doesn't need to be crated.
She would do great in a home with one other dog her size, preferably a submissive male.
Blondie can not go to a home with smaller dogs, cats, or other small animals. She will go after them.
Definitely a home with shepherd experience and someone looking for a dog to actively work with as far as training.
Blondie is located in Lexington ky.
