(2 yrs old) Good with cats. Dogs and kids TBD. Apartment appropriate, needs a companion

Updated bio: Leona is a wonderful, sweet, happy, fairly small, beautiful medium-
long-coated girl. She loves to spend time w/foster GSD sisters,in
the yard and inside the home. She settles nicely and quiet in her crate although I only have her crated when no one is home. Small piles of goodies; i.e., toys, bones, socks, slippers, etc can be found in various rooms of the house. Nothing is chewed, just collected and stacked together in a different room then where they were found.

I think she would be happiest with a doggie companion and a home where the humans are home more frequently than not. She is probably the easiest foster I've had over the years.

Leash training is needed and an obedience class is recommended. I have not seen an ounce of aggression or fear-related reactions.

Original bio: When Leona came from Alamance County shelter, her medium-long coat was badly matted but with lots of brushing and some snipping she;s looking lovely now ! She is very sweet, loving, and HAPPY. Playing with her two foster GSD sisters is something she seems to enjoy and sniffing the cat is a favorite pass time. Thankfully, she is respectful of them and so they are getting along with each other. She is eating well and starting to fill out. She is spayed and UTD on all vaccines and best of all - Heartworm negative. Having been picked up as a stray that is considered close to a miracle. Leona would love a companion to romp in the yard with but would probably adjust as long as she has lots of human interaction and exercise. Attending an obedience class would be a good idea for everyone, it helps with the bonding process.

Bedtime has never been a problem ~ she is crate trained and once she goes in for the night, I do not hear a sound from her. However, she apparently can tell time because like clockwork when 6:00 a.m. rolls around I hear a high pitched squeal which is actually her whining for a potty break.

A few toys have suffered from her puppy-like enjoyment, and occasionally I find a sock, slipper, or sandal in a room other then the one where I left it, up to this point, items have only been moved, not shredded. Youngsters seem to think re-decorating is the thing to do after moving into a new residence.

As Leona continues to feel comfortable I am sure there will be some interesting stories to tell. She is a special young GSD. Come out and meet her at the next adoption event, she loves people and seems to love life itself now that she is off the streets and safe. It's just like starting over ~~
