About Sweetie (Berger allemand) in Cuba

Sweetie is waiting for you at Joyful Rescues, Inc. in Cuba, NY 14727. Sweetie was born about August 1, 2024 and will probably top out in the 75 lb. range when filled out. We have found out that Sweetie is a strong swimmer! She has had a loving environment growing up with an elderly woman with few resources. Coming here, to us (an hour away) was only the second time she has been in a car and there was some drooling sickness. She has been around few other humans with little outdoor play time and found comfort in friendship with the other 3# dog and several kitties, she was wonderful with all of them. As for children we feel the noisy, toddling, ones might made her nervous as they do some of us humans, older kids should be fine. As can be expected in new situations and around new humans she is inexperienced and uncomfortable, but on entry when we sat on the floor with her the fear in her eyes and the stiffness of her body relaxed in a reasonably short time. Sweetie has never growled or bitten no matter the circumstances she has been in and we were told she has a "quiet and laid back" personality, but I'm guessing once she experiencing a more active, normal, lifestyle that she will enjoy it just like any normal, young, GSD. She is not used to walking on leash and the owner said she does pull, but we thought she did quite well (not perfect) walking in the driveway to the garage. She is said to be house trained. She does enjoy chewing on appropriate things including broccoli, but has never chewed anything inappropriate. Sweetie has been very healthy and has never seen a veterinarian in her life until she arrived here and we'll be doing all necessary health care to ready her for a new home. Her owner was kind and even though Sweetie had to come here because she was losing her home and forced to move into an apartment that only allowed one cat she offered us some cash which we promptly denied as we explained that we are so very fortunate to have so many previous
