Adopt a German Shepherd Dog (short coat)

Peaches is affectionate and loves to cuddle. She loves having her chest scratched between her arms. She enjoys stretching out for a good car ride. She loves to play with toys and will play by herself but would very much enjoy someone to play with her. She is a little bit of a couch potato but also enjoys walks and playing outside with her people. Peaches loves children of any age. She would be best around children that are out of the toddler stages as she could knock them over.

We think she is 3 years old, to the best of our knowledge, her birthday is February 1st, 2015. She is spayed, house trained, and listens very well. She knows all the basic commands (Sit, Down, Stay, Stop, Paw, Come, Kennel, Wait, Leave It) and continues to expand on them she is a quick learner.

Peaches is a larger GSD, she is tall and weighs around 80 pounds now, she was only 36 pounds when the rescue took her in.

Peaches prefers to be the only animal in the house. She does have a prey drive and will chase bunnies and squirrels if not corrected. She does not get along with other dogs at first, she takes a long time to warm up to them. Her fosters have her in weekly training sessions to help socialize her and teach her that other dogs will not harm her. Professional Training will be required to be continued with Peaches to continue to help her with other dogs.

Peaches has EPI short for Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency which just means her pancreas doesn't produce enough enzymes to break down the food properly. The enzyme powder that is added to her food at each meal costs roughly $39 per month.  Her B12 supplement is $8 per month and her food is around $60 dollars per month. So please don't let EPI scare you.  It is very basic and easy to manage.  Peaches is doing so well and is very healthy.
