How did you find her? Thats a lucky find.....for both of you.
Did they have any problems with your approval since you are going to feed raw and minimal vax? I've wondered if some shelters or breeders would decline someone for those choices.
I agree with Howard, she looks VERY confident and has a fire in her eyes.
One of the very first dogs I worked with in obedience was being fostered by a young woman that had no business fostering dogs. All but one of her dogs were Pitts and the one I worked with was a Malinois. He was young and kind of squirrely but fun to work with. I was so tempted to adopt him but I had plenty of dogs by then. The girl had no idea where the dog came from but he was a beauty and now I could kick myself for not taking him. Yes, people ARE a-holes.
Thank you everyone... getting down to the wire here!! Oh how I WISH I had a second crate. I'm going to have to drag this one out of the house, into the car, then back into the house while figuring out where to put the dog in the meantime. If anyone has a spare crate to send this way, it's more than welcome.
Howard, that would be absolutely fantastic. I'm going to drop you a PM. I really appreciate your offer and you can bet I'll take you up on it!
Oh, she has a new name: Aizen (I-zen). If I have to register her for anything, her official name will be "Tora Inu Aizen" which means "Tiger Dog Aizen." I think it fits quite well.
The name is great. It does her justice. Let me know what her nick name ends up being....lol..such high ideals in naming and all my dogs ended up with nicknames that were never quite as dignified as the original name.
When are you picking her up?
Any chance you can get hold of one of those seat belt harnesses for the ride home? It would be nice to have somewhere to put her when you get back home and transporting the kennel will be awkward. I have pulled many GSD from shelters (I volunteer with German Shepherd Rescue New England) and they can become squirrelly when they are paroled. I would suggest tethering her to you when you move the crate back into the house....pain in the a**-YES, but important not to leave her unattended in the house even for a few minutes until she has settled a bit. Maybe you can have a friend meet you and help with unpacking her
