ANKA

Anka could use a foster or foster to adopt. Anka is a little over two years old. She is very smart but very neervous about doing the right thing. She does well with people, better with women. SHe is very hand shy so needs to learn people are gentle. She LOVES food and treats. She knows sit and down and come. She gets along with dogs but is better with slow intros to people and to dogs. She wants to play with other dogs but has to learn how. Essentially Anka needs manners and skills Anka is in foster and is undergoing heartworm treatment so needs her calm time. She is a very sweet dog for the knowledgeable shepherd owner.

Years ago some of our volunteers rescued a pregnant purebred gsd from South Carolina, due to be killed. She arrived at her foster and almost simultaneously gave birth to a litter of ELEVEN puppies, 10 solid black 1 pure white. They survived and grew. They needed all sorts of food, attention, play and frequent baths. The kitchen became the shower room, puppies squirming, sliding, shaking water off, drinking the water. One of those lucky pups was this beautiful, dignified glorious girl Maci. Maci passed a couple of months ago, leaving a huge hole in her family. She was the best friend to all. She is what makes rescue worth the efforts.

We at Tri State Shepherd Rescue honor Maci as one we were able to save, love and who loved back so much more.
