Meet Evie Female DOB: February 3, 2021 Weight: 50 lbs Breed: German Shepherd Spayed (Fixed) Vaccinated Microchipped Healthy & Adoption-Ready Evie has been waiting… and she is more than ready to finally be chosen. Since coming into the rescue in 2022, Evie has watched others find their homes while she patiently holds onto hope. Through it all, she has remained the same loving, gentle, and loyal dog—never losing her kind heart or her desire to be close to people. Personality Evie is sweet, affectionate, and deeply loyal. She loves being around her people and thrives on connection. She enjoys walks, playtime, and quiet moments at home, making her a wonderful balance of active and calm. She is already trained and well-mannered, making her an easy companion who understands how to be part of a home. Training & Behavior House trained Leash trained Well-mannered in a home environment Thrives with routine and structure Breed Info As a German Shepherd, Evie carries traits of: Intelligence and strong trainability Deep loyalty and connection to her family A need for structure, engagement, and companionship German Shepherds are known for being devoted, responsive, and highly bonded dogs who thrive when included in daily life. Ideal Home Evie would do best in a home with older children who understand how to respectfully interact with dogs. She can do well with medium to large dogs with proper introductions but is not suited for homes with cats or small animals due to natural instincts. A stable, structured home where she is included as part of the family will help her thrive. Owner Responsibilities Evie will need daily exercise, including walks and mental engagement to keep her balanced and happy. She benefits from continued structure, routine, and positive reinforcement training, even with her solid foundation. Her adopter should be committed to: Providing daily care, exercise, and companionship Maintaining her training and structure Including her as an indoor family member Offering consistency, patience, and lifelong commitment Things to Consider Evie is best suited for a home without small children, where her space and comfort can be respected. She is also not a match for homes with cats or small animals, but she has the potential to do well with appropriately matched dogs her size. As a long-term rescue dog, she may need time to fully settle, but with patience and consistency, she will build trust and thrive. The 3-3-3 Rule 3 days to decompress 3 weeks to learn your routine 3 months to fully feel at home With love and patience, Evie will truly blossom.
