-----
Hello world, I'm Zara! I'm just a young girl looking to find my place in the big wide world.
Like most of us German Shepherds, I'm smart, loyal, sensitive and very affectionate, even cuddly, once I can trust you and lose my initial wariness.
I find it hard to cope in the noisy shelter environment, even though everyone here is really kind to me. My least favourite thing is when people leave me alone! My ideal set-up would be in a calm and quiet home with little foot traffic, so I can relax and feel safe.
Too much change, buzz and noise will make me nervous and overwhelmed, which doesn't help me to put my best side forward!
To build up my confidence, I should initially only go for short walks near home, but definitely not to dog parks or off-leash areas. Due to my anxiousness, I don't always know how to interact well with other dogs, and might act out before I have a chance to calm down and think.
My ideal new home would be with someone who understands us clever and sensitive German Shepherds. I really would like to belong with you and yours - being allowed inside with the family is a must for me. I'll need to be your one and only canine family member, so that you have all the time in the world to dedicate to my training and development. I will need high, secure fencing as I'm an active, smart cookie - it's probably best that someone is home often to help me settle in to my new home.
With me, you'll delve deep into the world of dog psychology and learn all about mental stimulation and enrichment. These activities and experiences not only benefit me, but also the bond between us as well.
I think I'll be ok with older kids or teenagers in the home, as long as they are gentle, calm and respectful. I'd like to meet the whole family prior to adoption, just to make sure the signs are good for us getting on well long-term.
Do all my stipulations sound ok with you? If your answer is YES, I would love to meet you very soon, and hopefully I can settle into living my best life with you.
If this looks like a plan and you think we're a perfect match, then please complete an adoption application today. https://www.rspcaqld.org.au/apply-to-adopt
