Mj

Meet our lovely German Shepherd mix, MJ! MJ is an affectionate but very sensitive girl who has found kennel life difficult. She arrived very frightened, hiding in her kennel and initially refusing to go outside. Although she has made good progress, the world can still feel overwhelming for her. MJ needs experienced and patient owners who understand nervous dogs and can help her build confidence at her own pace. She can be worried around unfamiliar people, but with time she has shown her affectionate side with the handlers she has bonded with. MJ can also be worried around other dogs and may react defensively or with frustration when frightened. However, when given plenty of space and introduced slowly, she can relax and show a more sociable and playful side. She can sometimes get carried away during play, so her new owners will need to be confident managing her interactions and continuing her socialisation and training. MJ has spent time with a regularly visiting child in her previous home and got on well, so she could potentially live with calm, confident teenagers who can give her time and space to settle. She would be best as the only dog in the home, in a quiet area with a secure garden. Her new owners will also need to continue working on her confidence, recall and lead skills without putting her under too much pressure. MJ isn't looking for a busy lifestyle or big adventures just yet. She needs someone who can give her the time, patience and understanding she needs to settle and grow in confidence. In return, she has the potential to blossom into a loving and playful companion. ❤️
