Thank you for rescuing this girl I'm sure she will make a lovely companion! Do you have a picture that shows her face? She looks really young - can still see the black fading on her hips.
No idea if she had a litter - no experience with females.

She does look young and purebred. I don't have experience with females that have gone through a heat so the swelling of the nipples could be from that or it could have been a pregnancy, I'm not sure. Did the vet mention anything when she was spayed?
She's about 1 year old according from the shelter...
We have a free wellness exam sponsored by the shelter later.
She's very calm and quiet since tuesday night, not even a bark.. maybe beacuse she got spayed last monday, idk if she's on pain...
She's underweight 52lbs when we got her... Any advice on dry foods?
Very pretty girl Some TLC and good food will have her stunning in no time
Fromm, Orijin, Acana, and Wellness are some of the top kibbles on my list, but really the best food is the one your dog has the best health and appearance on. You may find one right off the bat or it may take 2-3 tries before you find the right one that both you and the dog are happy with. If you're looking for good quality on a budget there are many who feed the Kirkland brand kibble at Costco with good results
Congrats on being another rescuer! She's beautiful and will be more so when you put more meat on her bones. Did they give you any indication of what her former life was? Obvious not much for proper feeding, I would assume. Our guy was rescued from a puppy mill where he was used as a stud. Super sweet boy. Not as energetic as most GSDs his age (guesstimated at about 5 or 6 years old) from the sounds of it. He's also a fairly quiet dog. The few times he's barked has been mostly when other dogs barked at him. Good luck with everything & keep posting pictures as she gains more weight!
Thank you for rescuing her!!
Sounds like our rescued Akira.
She was 1.5 when we took her home. She was so laid back and quiet. She didn't bark until a week later when she heard our neighbors on the other side of the fence.
