Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Wilmington, North Carolina

Cookie found herself returned to the shelter through no fault of her own. Cookie is a very agile pup and would do GREAT with someone who likes outdoor activities or is interested in doing agility training. Below you will see that good with kids is marked no. She gets very nervous around smaller children, so adult or teenage would be fine
She's a bit nervous when she meets new people, so letting her approach you is best and then it's belly rubs for as long as your hand doesn't get sore Lol!!!!
She's spay, up to date on all core vaccines including Bord and Lepto. She's microchipped, vetted and ready to go.
She has her bags packed, will they be coming to you???
