Hi
I have been reading though this forum and finally set up an account.
I do not own a German Shepherd at this time but am looking at adopting one and that is why I joined.
I took her for a walk today (the dog I'm thinking of adopting), and she didn't really seem to interested in me.
When I first walked up by her cage she did look at me and didn't bark at all.
But once I took her outside she kind of did her own thing. Go pee and sniff around.
My question is for th people that ever adopted a dog.
How long before they became attached to you and your family/ come out of there shell?
Did anyone feel like the dog was ignoring you the first time you took them for a walk?
I know the shelter is very stessful and she was probably just happy to be outside.
I will be going back tomorrow and taking her for about a half hour to 45 min walk.
I just wanted to know what everyone elses experiences were liek when first looking at adopting there German Shepherd.
