Update On Cadet!

Update 8/13/09:

Cadet is a very sweet, beautiful dog. She LOVES to be at your feet. Her owner passed away and there was no one to care for her so she went to the shelter. Now that she is out and with her foster family she sailed through her heartworm treatment with no trouble at all- she is a tough girl!
She is a low to mid energy dog who is calm inside and has a nice energetic spirit outside. She LOVES to be groomed and get all the attention she can.

She was not an inside dog but has NEVER had an accident inside the house - we take her out for her potty break and she goes right away. She plays great with the other dog in the house but she is still learning to share toys and attention as she has never had a lot of either. She is highly trainable and eager to please, she has just never had anyone take the time with her.

She is learning basic obedience commands but has mastered the most useful, ones like come, sit, down, wait etc. She understands and responds quickly to a firm "no" and will come right away for a rub on her tummy. She walks great on a leash and only wants to please. She goes into her crate when told to and sleeps through the night with no problems.

She has great house manners. She has never torn up anything but is monitored by a stay at home mom during the day. She is a confident dog but has a little anxiety when left totally alone in the house so we have crated her each time we leave and are working with her on being more calm when alone. She responds well to training and is a VERY smart lady!

She is great with the kids in the foster house, letting them pull on her and hug and kiss her. She is a very loving dog. She loves to go for car rides and she rides very well with no whining or barking but has gotten sick two times, maybe it is was the way foster dad drove ; ). She does not bark excessively but will alert you if someone is coming with the typical one or two barks. She likes to meet new people and go on outings.

Cadet would be a great companion dog for even a beginner dog owner! She makes you smile when you look at her, her expressions are very sweet and she is ready for her forever family.

Cadet is a sweet female German Shepherd. Her foster mom has noticed that Cadet learns quickly. She is a little shy when you first approach her and will flatten to her stomach, but then she rolls over for a tummy rub.

She is learning to come when called and wags her tail when you call her. Cadet is good at waiting by the door to come in, instead of busting through it as soon as you open it. She's working on the sit and down commands with quick progress.

She loves to be near people and sit at their feet. Cadet likes to play with toys and is learning to go in her crate when told. She protests very little about being put in her crate and sleeps through the night perfectly. She likes to explore outside but loves the indoors best.

Cadet loves attention and is great with kids. Her foster family has a 1 year old shepherd and two kids (age 7 an 9). Cadet does great with the kids and she is learning how to play and interact appropriately with the other dog in the house.
