Candy

Candy was an unclaimed stray from the Modesto area so nothing is known about her background. She has a shiny black coat with a few tan hairs on her legs and between her toes. We have estimated her age at around 4-5 years old. She weighs an ideal 65 lbs with has been deemed very healthy other than well-worn teeth.

Candy is as sweet as her name and appears to have lived in a home before. She seems perfectly comfortable in a home, has nice house manners, it is just a little tough to get her to go outside on occasion, although she loves her walks. Candy loves having a soft dog bed to lay on, and she loves following her person from room to room. She sleeps loose in her fosters' room on a soft dog bed.

While Candy doesn't know many commands, she walks fairly nicely on a leash. She is medium energy but does enjoy her daily walks. She is very curious about the wildlife, and the neighbors cows. She pulls to see them and gets a little excited, but corrects fairly easily. She loves to splash in the creek in the evenings when it is hot.

Candy does not nuisance bark, but she will bark when she gets excited, like when you come home from work, or if there is a reason. She is quiet in a kennel during the day while her foster parents are at work.

Candy gets along with the six other german shepherds in her foster home. She is a little bossy, and won't take any funny business from any of the males. She seems to enjoy dog company, but does not want to play with them. She lived with a smaller dog in her past, but it is unknown how she would do with very small dogs or cats.

Candy's ideal home will be as an only dog, or with an older male dog that doesn't want to play. Candy requires a home with older children, she is not much for toddlers, so if in a home where they visit, she will need to be put away during the visit. She would love a soft dog bed and some treats too! This sweet girl deserves to be spoiled rotten and in return she will give that special someone her total loyalty and devotion.

This is a Level 2 Dog
