  • I really enjoy the company of my human friends.
  • I love to run! I have been on the running team while at OHS and would make a great running buddy!
  • I tend to be on the vocal side, but exercise and positive training can help. I may not be the best choice living in an apartment or condo.
  • I know some basic cues, such as sit.
  • I love to learn! You can use my favorite toys or treats as positive reinforcement and to teach me new things.
  • Click here to sign-up for our Start over Rover class! We will help you set you on the right path to have the best life possible with your new furry friend through training, games, and exercises!
  • My love to herd can get me into trouble at a dog park, so I may have more fun participating in other activities like Agility to burn off steam.
  • I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
  • High Energy: I can become easily frustrated if my energy and exercise needs are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help me flourish.
  • Escape Artist: I have a history of escaping doors or fences. I will need supervision when outdoors or we can go on adventures together - on leash of course!

The type of home I'm looking for:

  • I am not for the first time dog owner. Someone very familiar with canine body language is a must for me.
  • My energy and size can be a lot for little kids, but I would do great with older, dog-savvy children.
  • I need a home without cats or other small animals.

🐾 Meet Samba: A Loyal Companion Who Loves Canine Friends Meet Samba, a magnificent 4-year-old female German Shepherd who is ready to dedicate her heart to a patient and active family. Samba is a highly intelligent and beautiful dog who is past the puppy chaos and ready to settle into a lifelong routine of training, activity, and snuggles
 
 Samba's favorite thing in the world is other dogs! She is incredibly dog-social and absolutely thrives when she is running, wrestling, and playing chase with canine friends. She would do wonderfully in a home with another playful dog or with an owner who is committed to frequent, supervised playdates. 
 
 True to her breed, Samba can be a little shy and reserved when first meeting new people. She needs a calm, slow approach and a handler who understands that patience is key. Once she accepts you into her inner circle, her legendary German Shepherd loyalty shines through, creating an incredibly deep, protective, and rewarding bond.

Here's what you need to know about me:

I can be nervous around new people. It just takes me a little while to get comfortable. But once I get to know you, I'm very loving.

I'm easy going. Wanna go for a walk? Okay. Hang out in the yard? No problem. Just relax on the couch? I can do that. I'm pretty happy to go at your pace and I don't really need much more than most dogs do. If you're looking for a steady companion, I'm all yours.

It's recommended I meet any dogs or kids living in my new home before I'm adopted. I just want to make sure we all get along.
