"JENSEN" now in FOSTER! timid, fearful in shelter GERMAN SHEPHERD mix "MCAS"

 UPDATE 1/29/25ADOPTED or on hold

Sweet boy! recently had a Dog's Day out and was easy riding in a car, and going for a leash walk in a park. Jensen has a fan club of volunteers who are patient and allowed Jensen to take his time trusting them (in the scary shelter environment) A true "heart dog" for a lucky person

He is a shy timid German Shepherd and would benefit from being in a home instead of the loud shelter.  Jensen will need a good home/foster who is patient.  He previously came in with his (sibling?) Jenny who has been adopted. It's possible that Jensen would benefit from the companionship of a confident, compatible and dog-social dog

NOTE  I am no longer a fan or longterm volunteer of MCAS due to poor current shelter management, but that isn't the dogs' fault and I still try to support the dogs as much as I can. JENSEN could use a good foster home!!

now in foster

Jensen is a 3-year-old German Shepherd who is a bit of a mystery. He's quite nervous at the shelter but loves to explore his surroundings with his nose. While hesitant with people, he'll curiously approach to within a couple of feet before retreating, showing a conflict between his desire to connect and his fear. Jensen needs a patient and understanding family who can give him the space and time he needs to build trust. He's motivated by treats, which will be a valuable tool for building a bond and working on confidence-building exercises. A quiet home with a predictable routine will help him feel safe, and a family who can read his subtle cues and respect his boundaries will be key to helping him blossom. If you're experienced with fearful dogs and ready to provide a loving and supportive home for Jensen, please come meet him today to see if it would be a good fit. With the right family, this diamond in the rough will shine!

JENNY   UPDATE 12/30/24 ADOPTED
Animal ID: 333298 spayed female 2 yrs 6 mths (guessed)44 lbs

JENNY ( UPDATE 12/30/24 ADOPTED )  came in with Jensen

https://www.multcopets.org/adoptable/333298

Jenny is a 2.5-year-old Shepherd searching for a special home with patient and understanding adopters. This sweet girl can be nervous and shy at first, especially in new situations. She responds well to gentle approaches, crouching down to her level, and offering tasty treats. Jenny loves to go for walks and explore once she's out of her kennel, but she can be a bit hesitant about the leash initially. She's still learning to trust people and may take some time to warm up, but with a calm and loving approach, she has the potential to be a wonderful companion. Jenny has a fear waiver, so her new family should be prepared to work with her on building her confidence and helping her feel safe. A quiet home with a fenced-in yard where she can relax and play would be ideal. If you think you can offer Jenny the time, space, and love she needs to blossom, come meet her at the shelter today!
