White German Shepherd - Mimi - Large - Adult - Female - Dog
Mimi has been at the pound for a while now. She came to us as a stray wearing a collar but no one has come looking for her. When she came to the pound, Mimi was very growly and made it clear she was not having anything to do with any of us. Slowly, over time and a few hotdogs, Mimi started showing interest in us. She stopped growling so much, she cautiously wagged her tail, she seemed to enjoy Toffee stopping by her kennel to eat any remaining food in her bowl and she wouldn't run to her exterior suite to hide from us as we stopped to chat with her. Mimi is quite bonded to me at this time. She still barks at strangers but we feel her progress has been significant and it's time to post her as adoptable. Having said that, our first choice for Mimi would still be a rescue specializing in shepherds and one that has an experienced foster home for Mimi to live in while she continues on her path to beloved pet. We do feel if there is a person or family (we do not know how Mimi is with children) who has experience with large breed dogs who are smart and undersocialized and is willing to work with her and most likely a humane trainer, she is quite adoptable. Mimi seems to love other dogs (we've had Mimi in the yard with Gandalf and Banjo, both large breed dogs--we have not had her free roaming with any small dogs but thru the kennel at least, she seems to love Toffee) so a home with another friendly dog or two may be ideal for her. Anyone interested in meeting Mimi must fill out an application to start the process. The applications will be reviewed with our animal control officers and then a meet and greet can be set up. Because Mimi is still wary of people she does not know and of new situations, more than one meeting may be necessary before we will know if it's a match. After spending about an hour outside with her today, we feel she is well worth the effort! **On the application, after you put your name and date on the very last question, please also include "Mimi". http://appomattoxfoac.org/Application_To_Adopt.html Please "like" us on Facebook to keep up with all of our adoptable pets! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Friends-of-Animal-Control-Appomattox/xxxxxxxxxxxx199 If you are interested in adoption, please email Animal Control Officer Josh Hackett at [email removed].
