Meet Mila!
She is a loving, loyal and intelligent 4.5 year-old female purebred German Shepherd looking for a new forever home.
Mila is full of energy, loves to run around in the backyard, and go for walks.
She is house-trained, leash trained, up to date on vaccinations, spayed, and knows basic commands like sit, stay, and come. She is very food motivated.
Mila would thrive in a home with an experienced dog owner who understands the needs of a working breed. She would do the best in a home with grown or no children, and no other pets.
She would be a great companion for someone who can give her the time, structure, and affection she deserves. Mila is very reactive to other dogs, but is very people friendly.
Rehoming interview will take place to ensure she goes to a loving and responsible home.
