Meet Hera

Hera is the kind of dog who reminds us that the sweetest friendships are often the ones that take a little time to grow. This young Shepherd is a bit shy when meeting new people, but don't let her quiet nature fool you. Beneath that cautious first impression is a wonderfully sweet girl who truly enjoys human affection once she knows she's safe. Earn her trust, and you'll discover a loyal companion who loves being by your side. Hera already knows a few tricks, showing she's both smart and eager to learn. She also walks beautifully on leash, making her an easy companion for neighborhood strolls or outdoor adventures. With a little encouragement, plenty of positive reinforcement, and a patient family, her confidence is sure to blossom. Every brave step Hera takes is a reminder of the amazing dog she's becoming. She's simply looking for someone who will believe in her while she learns to believe in herself. If you're searching for a gentle, intelligent best friend and have a little patience to offer, Hera just might be your perfect match. Give this lovely girl the chance she deserves, and you'll gain a loyal companion for life. Hera has participated in shelter playgroups and may enjoy a compatible canine friend in her new home. She's currently sharing her shelter suite with a scared puppy that needed a friend. Looking for a buddy for your dog? Bring him/her to the shelter for a meet and greet and see if we're a match!
