Eleven

Eleven is a 6 year old German Shepherd who loves to be with her humans. She loves to be outside and playing in water. She likes to snuggle toys. She is a picky eater and isn’t really too food motivated. She does know sit and come commands. We got her from a friend about 4 months ago to rehome her. The first 2 months we had her went great. She got along with our other dogs. However, something has changed and now they no longer get along. We have to keep them separated so that no fights break out. She has possession issues over just about everything.

She is also not a fan of my 27 year old brother. She barks at him and lunges at him when they are in the same room. Which is hardly ever. She barks at him even when they are not in the same room. My brother is on the autism spectrum and has become afraid of her. She has never bitten him, but just doesn’t like him.

We have tried every rescue and shelter place and everyone is full in our area. The recommendation we got from animal control is to put her to sleep and we really don’t want to do that. We want her to go to a home where she will be free.

We want her to go to the perfect family where she will be the only dog and be loved. To our knowledge she has never been around children.
