Spring came to us through a shelter where she had been surrendered by her former family. Spring is a sweet girl, walks well on the leash with no pulling and enjoys the company of people. As you can see in her picture one of her ears is crumpled, this is caused from chronic ear infections that had been left untreated. She has been seen by our vet and now has an appointment to be seen by a specialist to see what can be done for her. Both of her ears are so infected that her ear canals are closed, this may require surgery to correct, we will post an update once we learn more. Even with the pain this must be causing her she still remains sweet and friendly with everyone she meets. Spring would love to have a home and family of her very own, one that will provide comfort, love, training and exercise. If you feel that Spring may be a good fit your family please set up an appointment to meet her.
UPDATE: Sweet Spring was seen by the Specialist today, sadly her one ear is so badly infected that it has calcified and is totally closed, the only way to give Spring relief from the pain she is in is to surgically remove her ear canal and ear. This is an expensive surgery, one that we had not planned for. Donations towards the cost of Spring's surgery would be greatly appreciated..this sweet girl has lived with this pain for far too long.
Spring's other ear is also badly infected but as not bad as the other ear. She is being treated with both antibiotics and steroids to help clear up the infection. The Doctor's have reported that Spring is deaf due to the chronic untreated ear infections but she may regain some hearing in her better ear once the infection is cleared up. We are hoping that Spring's infection will clear up enough in the next 2 to 4 weeks so that she can have the surgery. Spring is such a sweet and loving girl, quite calm and loves to be with people...please help us help Spring by donating towards her medical expenses .
UPDATE: Spring weighs 68 pounds. She can hear pretty well and comes running on the sound of us picking up her leash, my car keys, and of course . the treat jar being opened! She is good with all people, from babies to seniors. The folks at the vet clinic have loved her personality from day one.
Spring has responded very well to several weeks of medication prescribed to rid her of the three bacteria that were identified in her ears. Because of this success, her ear surgery is postponed and we will continue to monitor her ears. We are also beginning to work on what looks to be an allergy issue. She has been on an allergy free diet for a few weeks and we hope to be able to test her in the next month or so. She will also be scheduled for spaying. Spring is a very playful, loving, energetic, social and obedient German Shepherd. She does very well with the resident GS mix. Her walking skills are influenced by the over abundance of rabbits in our community!!! She has a strong prey drive toward small furry things and we would recommend caution with her around cats. Her love of a brisk pace would likely make her a good running partner. Please visit our website at to fill out our online adoption application.
