In late May, we received a call from an ACO who picked up a young stray female. This girl gave the police officers quite the chase and when they finally caught her no owner came forward. Her active, playful personality captured the heart of the ACO and he could see that she needed to gain weight but admired her coat of rich black with accents of tan. He was really invested  and wanted to help this sweet dog, so, when we agreed to help, we asked him to pick a name for this pretty girl.  He chose Freya, a name of Old Norse origin that shares its namesake with the mythical Freyja the goddess of love and beauty.  We thought this was the perfect name for this beautiful dog.

Freya is approximately a little over a year old. With no foster home available she stayed at the shelter for a brief period and was then moved to a board/train facility.  We’ve had her with a trainer for the past month who has really helped her with some basic obedience and manners. Freya reacts well to other dogs and wants to play when given the chance, but would prefer to be the only dog in the home.  If the other dog is unsure and barks, she will chime in with her own barking.  She would be happy living in a family with another dog or could also be an only dog, soaking up all the attention.  If you’re looking for an intelligent, inquisitive puppy and enjoy going for walks and doing activities with your dog, please ask us about Freya.

We know the right GSD savvy home is out there to give this sweet beautiful girl the finishing touches on her training to let her shine like the mythical Freyja she was named after.
