Sugar: Not At The Shelter

About Sugar: Not At The Shelter (Berger allemand) in Rustburg

Sugar: Not At The Shelter is waiting for you at Friends of Campbell County Animal Control in Rustburg, VA 24588. Suga is a beautiful former shelter girl, fostered for several months while making the progress we had hoped to see, and we want to share that good news with everyone who is a German Shepherd fan! After eight years of living in what we imagine was an unsocialized, possibly isolated area, Sugar has opted to make friends with people, and is willing to learn new experiences. Right now she is fostered by a family with one other dog, who have done a super job of helping her learn that life can be predictable, and that good things happen when you can trust people. Truly, senior dogs have the hardest time making adjustments, and we are praying she will continue her progress with trust. Not totally house trained yet, but she has finally learned to traverse the household where she is fostered, and use the door to the backyard to go in and out as needed. Her foster mom is working hard with her on a leash, and again it’s a matter of trust. She lives with another gentle dog, and tends to be the assertive one in the household. She is happy to associate with the household cat. We look forward to continuing her socialization and helping her become a more well-adjusted dog, although she will probably never be one of those who wants to go out and about and meet people. However, if you’re looking for a companion to be your best friend, and someone that you can teach to trust, she is still considered a bit of a project. She is about 70 pounds. Spayed, and current with vaccines. UPDATE: Sugar is her new name, and it fits this princess. She is making baby steps in becoming more confident, but we know she has a long way to go. Her foster family is doing everything they can! Fencing, a private room, a gentle dog to be her mentor.... all are part of the process. ***When beautiful Cherryl was signed over to the shelter by her caregiver, we were told she was eight yea
