In the shelter’s words

At just 12 weeks old, this adorable German Shepherd puppy traveled by car from the shelter with her two littermates, ready to begin her journey toward finding a forever family. Coraline has settled beautifully into her foster home, winning hearts with her joyful spirit, playful energy, and wonderfully steady temperament. She's curious about the world around her, loves discovering toys, and is blossoming into a delightful little companion.Coraline lives with resident shepherds, two cats, and three teens, and she's adapting to family life like a pro! She's learned to use the doggy door and is making great progress with potty training. She's already shown she can hold it, making house-training much easier, although she'll still need supervision and consistency as she grows. She also does well around the resident cats, leaving kitties alone with gentle reminders.This sweet girl loves being wherever her people are. She's an affectionate little cuddler who soaks up attention and enjoys being part of the action. As the day winds down, Coraline settles into her crate and sleeps a wonderful eight hours through the night!With her steady temperament, affectionate nature, and impressive progress with all the new things she's learning, Coraline is off to a fantastic start. On all her outings, she's a magnet for kids, and she responds gently to their excitement to meet a puppy. We can't wait to see her continue to blossom into the amazing companion she's meant to be.Coraline is looking for a family ready for all the fun, love, training, and adventures that come with raising a German Shepherd puppy. Could she be the perfect addition to your family?Her littermate Frankie was just adopted, and Rocket just relocated from San Jose to Sacramento while his regular foster family's out of town.Interested in learning more?
