Usa

USA (pronounced ooo-sa) is a 8-9 month old female shepherd/husky, with maybe some cattle dog in her, with one blue eye and one brown eye. Her name was chosen to keep up with the patriotic theme for the month of July. She was turned in by a family who lived in an apartment and was not allowed to keep her. Although she is not all shepherd, she was brought into the program when she ran out of time at a local Sacramento shelter.

USA is affectionate and playful. She enjoys playing with the water, rolling in the grass, playing with toys and having a nylabone. Anyone that gets close, will likely get kisses. She pays no attention to the cats in the foster home and has learned to respect and back away from the big shepherds. She slept through the night in a crate. We are working on housebreaking and house manners, and she is being taught to not guard her toys and food bowl. Because of her guarding tendency, she should not go to a home with small children.

Because of her guarding issues, this is a Level 3 Dog. Please be sure you understand what a dog with this Level requires.
