Anyone looking to adopt a German Shepherd? Only two years old and due to be euthanized if not saved before 8/17....
I wish I had about 500 acres of fenced-in land! I'd adopt every single shelter animal due for euthanasia!

Update 8/13: adopted!
🚨MOLLEY SCHEDULED FOR EUTHANASIA 8/17 @ 11 AM FOR SPACE🚨
💔 Molley is a sweet, affectionate 2 year old German Shepherd who has been bounced around far too much in the last week.
She was surrendered to DAS on 8/5 because her landlord wouldn’t allow pets after being adopted from DAS about a year ago. She was adopted again on 8/7, but returned just 4 days later after an incident involving her adopter’s young grandchildren. The adopter reported that Molley lunged and barked at the children and believed she was being protective of her person.
And this is an important reminder: give your dogs time to decompress and know the breed you’re adopting. German Shepherds were bred to be loyal, protective working dogs, and being naturally watchful and protective of their people is part of who they are. That doesn’t mean every German Shepherd will behave the same way, but it does mean potential adopters need to understand the breed and be prepared to provide appropriate structure, boundaries, training, and management.
Molley has no bite history, and at the shelter she has consistently been described as friendly, easygoing, and easy to handle. She walks well on leash and has been described as tolerant and independent.
She needs an experienced, confident home without young children who understands German Shepherds and will give her time to decompress and settle into a new environment. She deserves the opportunity to be understood rather than passed around and ultimately killed because one home wasn’t the right fit.
