4 Years, NAME: Teeka
BREED MIX: German Shepherd mix
GENDER: Female
APPROX. AGE &/or DOB: 4 years old
SIZE &/or WEIGHT: Medium Size, approximately 45lbs
HISTORY/ BACKGROUND: Teeka is a transfer from a Northern Alberta shelter. She hasn't had good luck since she was a young stray and then adopted and returned many times, no fault of her own. Her story starts in February of 2012 Teeka found herself as a stray , only 3 ½ month old puppy, from Goose Bay, Labrador, and ended up in a local shelter. She was adopted as a pup by a couple, then returned to the shelter when the couple split up. She was then adopted to a guy who had his own place but after a while, the landlord told the guy he could not keep the dog. Teeka was again returned this year. She was adopted out again, although, she bit a small dog, and was once again, returned. We will know more soon how she is in general with small dogs, since when it occurred, she was tied up.
TEMPERAMENT & PERSONALITY: Teeka has an outgoing personality and is a very sweet and obedient dog. She is well mannered, listens well, an excellent walking buddy. She needs more socialization with other dogs, so we will be doing that soon. She was in many homes, and apparently, few or none of her previous owners got her around other dogs much or to dog parks.
DOG'S NEEDS: At this moment, Teeka needs a home with no other pets, a home with a fenced in yard and an active owner who enjoyed outdoor activities so Teeka can join them.
BEST MATCH: We think Teeka would do well in a home with adults and older children or teenagers. We haven't tested her with cats yet, and will update when we know, but we likely would not recommend a home with cats, small dogs, or young children. Let's change her luck and find her a home where she can go to training classes, maybe Nose Work, running, biking, ski-jouring, hiking and playing ball!
FAVORITE THINGS: Stuffed toys, swimming, going for walks, people and going for car rides.
