Kelley is a 9 month old longcoat female GSD. She came to us when her owner's elderly parent needed cancer surgery and elder care.  Kelley is one of the brightest dogs we've met in awhile! She's active, playful, and loves her family. She learns things (good or bad!) very quickly and is looking for a home where she gets to use her mind a bit.  She will probably be the leader of the dogs if you have more than one - she likes power. :-) So you just need to be ready to remind her that you are leader of the family - once she's clear on that, she's ready to be your 2nd in command.

She gets along with friendly dogs and enjoys them, but sometimes is a little scared up front. She's currently living with a Golden Retriever and they get along well. She's not a friend of the cats, though! She REALLY wants to chase them!

Kelley can exhibit insecure behaviors sometimes like some barkiness at strangers who appear suddenly, but this can be managed fairly easily. Like all GSDs, she does well with somebody who takes charge of situations and behaves like a leader, giving her guidance on HOW to behave. Her foster family has done some good work on this with her. A structured routine and clear 2-way communication with her does the trick! 

This little dog is a sweetie with the family and she is looking for her "forever home" - is that with you? If so, ask about Kelley!
