CRYSTAL - Shepherd and Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Marietta, Georgia

Crystal - ID# 20045 - Kennel #50 - Arrived June 16th - Shepherd Mix - Gold and White - Female - 10 Months Old - 40.375 lbs - Estimated Adult Weight 50-60 lbs - Will Be Spayed Prior to Adoption - Up to Date on Vaccines - Heartworm Negative

Crystal is a ten-month-old gold and white Shepherd mix with a stunning chestnut and white coat, a bold white blaze down her face, and a pair of pale, striking eyes that are absolutely impossible to forget. She arrived at Cobb Animal Services on June 16th and the people who know her say her coloring is something special - and one look confirms that completely. At 40 lbs and still growing, she is estimated to reach 50 to 60 lbs as an adult - a beautiful, athletic girl with so much wonderful dog still to come.

Inside her kennel Crystal is a little shy and reserved - but the moment she gets outside, everything changes. She transforms into a joyful, playful, toy-obsessed girl who loves nothing more than grabbing as many toys as she can carry - and she has been known to fit three in her mouth at the same time. She already knows sit and lay down, which is a wonderful foundation for a ten-month-old dog still finding her footing.

The shyness Crystal shows inside is simply a reflection of how overwhelming the shelter environment can be - especially for a young, sensitive dog. The real Crystal is the one who bursts through that door, grabs her toys, and reminds everyone around her exactly how fun and wonderful she truly is. A calm, patient home will bring that girl out for good.

Crystal is beautiful, playful, and full of personality just waiting to shine. She is waiting in Kennel #50 with those extraordinary pale eyes and that gorgeous gold and white coat, ready for someone patient enough to earn her trust and lucky enough to discover everything she has to give. Come meet her - she is going to be someone's absolute favorite.
