Angie has been waiting so patiently for her forever home, tail wagging, kisses ready, hoping today is the day someone finally chooses her...
She is one of the most affectionate dogs you'll ever meet. Wherever her person is, that's where Angie wants to be. She is genuinely happy, full of energy, love, and has complete devotion to her family.
Even though Angie may look like a grown-up, she is still very much a puppy. She needs a confident person who gives affection AND boundaries, not one without the other. She has responded beautifully to training. Leash walking is night and day better. Jumping has improved. She knows 'sit' and 'crate.' She is definitely one smart girl (so she will test you to see if you'll be consistent)!
Lab/German Shepherd mixes have the potential to be the best dog you've ever had or a full-time job. What's the difference? Training. It's not optional for Angie. It's the investment that determines which dog she becomes.
Angie loves other dogs (big and small) and does great with cats. She is housebroken, though like any puppy, accidents happen. She currently sleeps in a crate next to her foster's bed at night.
One thing to know going in: Like many dogs, Angie has separation anxiety. She is crate trained but being alone is hard for her. She gets vocal and distressed. She's improving, and a good bone helps, but 8 hours alone daily is not the right fit. She does best in a home where someone is around for most of the day.
If you are a confident, loving, active adopter who is committed to training and can give her structure and presence, Angie will give you everything she has.
