GSD needs new home

[ltsgsd]

Need to find a new home for this girl. She needs an experienced GSD handler as she does have some aggression issues. Her current owner rescued her a year ago but he has been called back for security detail overseas. He is to leave Tues Aug 9th. I know this is short notice but he just recieved his work orders as well. Please PM me with questions.I am trying to be the contact since the owner(Kenny) is packing right now for his move. With four dogs of my own, I do not have room for this girl..
Here is her story and details.


Xandra was almost a year when Kenny got her in November of 2010. She was pretty aggressive when he got her. She remained in the backyard of someone's house for a year straight. She remained in the vets kennel for 2 weeks after she was taken there by the previous owners. She was very aggressive towards the staff of the vet clinic, but once the leash was snapped on, she was fine. Kenny slept with the leash on her for three days before finally deciding she needed a bath. She didn't take to the bath too well, and ran right down the stairs, but that was the first time she came right back to him without being called and nuzzled him... no growling, no aggression.



Need to feed her by herself because wherever she was before, she used to have to fight for her food.

Not good around other aggressive dogs
Can play with her, pet her, while she's eating and drinking with no problem
Bites out of fear and out of protection
Was very skiddish
Kennel is her safe zone; don't even have to cover it. But if you go near her kennel, she'll feel threatened.
Needs owners that will be around to spend time with her.
Will take treats out of peoples hands gently, but with people she doesn't know, she'll growl the whole time but won't bite.
Protective of kids.
Scared of other dogs even if they're not aggressive.
Around 2 1/2 years old as of April.
95 lbs
Knows how to sit, knows her name,
Likes sitting on the couch but doesn't like sleeping in the bed, but does sleep right beside the bed.

Likes being brushed
Good in the car (as long as you keep her out of your lap)

Very loving once she gets to know you
Has all her shots, just recently got her yearly done
4 Months worth of heartworm and frontline meds
When she gets comfortable, she starts digging
Indoor/Outdoor dog
Likes tug of war, halfway plays fetch
Very playful, but sometimes she doesn't know how hard she's biting while playing. Almost clumsy/goofy when she's playing; doesn't realize how big she is.
Very high jumper
Since she's been abused, hitting for punishment is a no-no
