First post, not a new owner to pets though.
I've had since I was a kid: 3 German Sheppards, 1 Collie, 2 Beagles, 2 Cocker Spaniels, 4 Border Collies, 8 Horses, lots of stray cats and a Mule Deer (raised from baby to full grown with antlers etc.. left to come/go into the house at it's own free will).
My current GF and I, we live together, wanted a dog. We waited and waited and looked around shelters for one. Bulldog, Sheppard, Doberman etc.. deciding etc...
Well I'm now gainfully employed again (crappy economy)... so the search continued.
Friday night I was looking through the Riverside CA animal shelter pics and saw a German Sheppard puppy(s) for adotion.. but when we got there saturday afternoon they were spoken for.
We had the choice of going home, which I was set to do, or find another dog. There were a few pitbull puppies and some assorted breeds.
Then we spotted a female sheppard and the tag on the door said 10 months old. Ok, we'll bite.. kinda big for 10months old and she looks like she's had babbies too.
We got her out of the cage twice while we were looking at dogs and opted to take her. The girl helping us said she was 4 years old and that the other dog was 10 months.
We still took her...
Her new name is Daisy...
Dropped off by owner we were told, friday evening, we adopted her saturday evening and took her home yesterday.
She's shy but affectionate.. doesnt wag her tail yet and just got fixed so she's sleeping a lot and walks like she's in some pain.
So far an awesome dog and she wont have to face that adoption or die deadline.
