Adopted June 10, 2007

Macy is a gorgeous, all German Shepherd puppy. She is a fast learner and picked up on several obedience behaviors quickly, but she definitely needs obedience work. Macy was picked up as a stray and the animal control contacted the owner. He never phoned back, so they went to his house. He said, yes that was his dog, but that they should keep her, because he doesn't have time for a dog. Macy knows there is someone out there that wants her. She is beautiful and intelligent. Very active, playful and just a good all around German Shepherd Dog. If you have the spunk for this little girl, fill out an application for Macy.
