About Adea
Adea (pronounced A-dear) is a beautiful one year old female working line German Shepherd who has come into our care after being hit by a car and having surgery on her back right leg. She has fully recovered from this incident and is a very active and athletic dog.
Adea has had training by Bear the Dog Behaviourist and socialised with other dogs. She walks well on a loose lead, knows commands like, sit, down, stay and on your bed.
Adea will need an experienced and active owner who is capable of stimulating an intelligent and athletic working line shepherd. Adea's favourite reward is play based one on one games. Adea would thrive learning different agility skills, tracking and scent work.
We always recommend to continue training when you take your dog home. Training doesn’t have to be a chore – it can be a fun experience for you both, it doesn’t have to take long and is a great way for you to bond with your new dog.
Adea has not been tested with cats or pocket pets.
If you live in Queensland or Victoria, you can be considered, however you will need to be able to drive with your family to meet her. If for any reason she doesn't fit your family you will be responsible for bringing her back to Sydney.

Adoption details
We have an Adoptions Manager who screens all prospective candidates as to their suitability to adopt a German Shepherd Dog.
We try to contact every one by phone but if that isn't successful we will email our application form to you, which needs to be completed and returned, or you can call us back and we can chat and complete for you. We will also ask you to provide photos of your yard and fencing to enable us to see where the dog will be kept and that they have areas of shade and shelter.
All our dogs are ready to go to their new home, so when you enquire about a dog you must be in a position to take them into your home. We are unable to hold a dog while you fix your fences or go on holiday, etc.
The successful candidate who adopts one of our dogs is provided with an information kit, ongoing support, training and advice on all aspects of feeding, training and general assistance to ensure both the new owner and our rescued dog settle into their home.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
