Juniper - German Shepherd Dog

Shelter: BC SPCA - West Vancouver Animal ID: 485645 Birthdate: April 22, 2014 - Adult Spayed/Neutered: Unknown Female Looking for a lifelong friend and companion? Juniper is a lovely dog who has been through a lot in her short life. This sweet soul is ready to settle, and is looking for a new family to call her own. Juniper is very anxious and will need a caregiver who is home for long hours, and is able to practice short leaving exercises with her to build trust that they are coming back. She is likely to be someone's shadow in the home, as she craves being with people. Juniper is very smart, and would benefit from some basic obedience or clicker training to keep her brain busy. She's got a lot of energy - but needs to get her weight and muscles back up before she goes on those long hikes she craves. German shepherds can be prone to back and hip issues, and Juniper is no exception. Her new family will need to respect her physical limitations and get creative with ways to keep her feeling good - like swimming! Juniper is ready for her next chapter, come by and meet her any day from 12-4pm at the West Vancouver BCSPCA.
