7637 Shotzie

Shotzie was surrendered to DRU in 2021 at just over a year old. Her journey hasn't been easy-she was on her third owner and struggled to adjust to an active lifestyle of camping, canoeing, and constantly meeting new people. It's no wonder that such a young dog, with three different homes and no consistency or structure, would face behavioral challenges. Since arriving at DRU, Shotzie has made remarkable progress under the care of our dedicated staff. She now walks well on a leash, enjoys playing with a resident male Doberman friend, and loves chasing her jolly ball around the yard. While she meets new staff members cautiously, she soon warms up and makes friends. Unfortunately, Shotzie is often overlooked due to her German Shepherd mix, which makes her look a bit different from the typical Doberman. Shotzie dreams of finding a forever home with humans who understand her hesitation with new people and are willing to continue providing the structure and consistency she has come to thrive on at the shelter. Stealing this pretty girl's heart will require several meet and greets, but the reward of her love and loyalty will be well worth the effort.
