14mo German shepherd sweet to owners female fixed aggressive towards strangers needs a home who wants a guard dog for free! Already obedience trained and loves cats and owners. She’s ok to walk and take to the vet. Still needs more socializing. She’s ok with other dogs but she barks a lot at the window at strangers. I’m afraid she could bight someone and I can’t afford more training.
