5yo German Shepherd needs new home

My wife & I have come to the sad conclusion that we need to find a new home for one of our 2 female German Shepherd dogs. This is NOT a for-sale ad; if the right home is found, we will GIVE her to you for $0.

Note I said RIGHT HOME...

Details about the dog:

Her GOOD attributes:
  • Spayed. Perfectly healthy.
  • House trained (mostly - it's been a while since we have left her alone inside unsupervised)
  • VERY good with children.
  • Barks like mad when strangers come up.
  • Can trail a wounded deer (did not teach her this, just just does it naturally)
  • Relatively well behaved (comes when called, sit, will go lay in her corner of the living room & get out from under foot, etc).

Don't know if this is Good or Bad:
  • IF a stranger is brave enough to just walk into fence with her (or let her out of the fence), she turns into a total "lover, not a fighter". I honestly don't think she would defend the property or you, even if you wanted her to.

Her bad (why we can't keep her):
  • She doesn't like other small animals. She has killed our chickens, ducks, kittens, etc. She was fine with her 1/2 sister (whom we are keeping) when we brought her home as a puppy, so I THINK she would be fine with other small dogs.
  • (minor issue) If you leave her alone in the house, she LOVES to dig into the trash, dirty dishes, etc.

Pictures (she has her own FB page) at https://www.facebook.com/carlyGSD


If you're interested, please call me at 979-220-0004. IF you take her and it doesn't work out, we WILL take her back.

Good luck finding her a home...



...but the fact that she has her own FB page where the posts are if she wrote them, well that's weird AF man.

I'm sure obedience training was discussed prior to this decision. If you still want to move forward, here are some GS rescues:

Unfortunately, we already have two GSDs, or we would take her. Good luck, they are hard to re-house.

I thought only late-30's single ladies did that with their dogs.

when i was a kid my dog was misbehaving a lot so my parents found a nice farm in the country for him to live on, have you considered that?

1) get rid of the chickens, ducks, kittens, etc... dogs are better
2) tell you wife to stop posting on facebook like she is the dog and clean the house
3) keep the dog
4) ?????
5) profit

Do you have a Facebook post with all of the information in the op I can share? I have a good amount of friends that have GSD, one of them is bound to take in another.

OMG, just looked at the Facebook page. Please tell me that is not the kitten she killed.

For the record, crating Her when you are not able to supervise her should correct this problem. The SPCA recommends crating. It turns out most owner surrenders could be prevented by crate training.

I'm glad you're trying to find her a good home. Good luck with that.

Best of luck and good for you to find a good home instead of shelter. I would offer but we have a 90 lb and 40 lb mutt and I like sticking with two dogs in the pack.

I was serious. the only problems this pup would have at our house would be running out of moles to catch, the bobcat only comes around at night. I dont FB though, where you located OP?

Sounds like the dog needs to be put down.
