Susie: Elite Eight All-Star Profile

Susie

2013 Statistics

Born: 2009

Weight: ~40 pounds

Breed: German Shepherd/Lab mix

Adoption Fee: $50 during March Adoption Madness

Career Stats: Susie came to us after her person was hospitalized and there was no one left to care for her. We found Susie cold and starved for attention, living in an outdoor kennel. She was so excited about having visitors that we were barely able to get out of the kennel without her escaping. Now this very sweet girl is in foster care and is blossoming into a wonderful companion. She is still outdoors most of the time, but her foster family has been trying her out inside more often and she is doing exceptionally well. 

See what her foster family has to say about this special girl: "She is currently spending most of the time in her kennel, but she is lonely so we have been bringing her inside to play with Tila (also an Elite Eight All-Star) and our adopted puppy Aremis. She has a blast with the other dogs and does magnificently with my 3-year old daughter. She is VERY well-behaved inside and listens to commands much better than if she is out. She is ok around cats when she is leashed. Typically she will only chase if they run. My husband LOVES this dog and we will hate to lose her, but she needs a place where she can get more attention. We will continue transitioning her inside, as she seems happier when she can play and socialize." 

Take a look at some of the photos her foster momma shared with us recently:

Career Prospects: Susie would love to find a forever family where she could live inside and get the love she is so desperate for.
