I finally adopted a dog! I’m so, so happy to have a dog in my life again. We’re going to have some great adventures together.

I’m naming her Ravna. She is a 1 year old shepherd mix who was found near Woodlake, California just over two weeks ago (on Pi day!). She gets excited when she sees other dogs, and she seems to like people too (particularly women). She’s curious but pretty reserved right now, likely from being tired and overwhelmed. Two days ago, she was in California and had ovaries; yesterday she was transported to a shelter up here and got spayed; today a strange man took her, drove her to yet another new place, and introduced her to these weird soft things that are great for sleeping on :

I’m really looking forward to bonding with her over the next few days and weeks, and seeing her personality come out as she gets used to me and her new home.

Tha nks for giving her a new chance for a happy home, she’s beautiful! My grandparents always had Sh epherds throughout their lives....I only knew one of them in my lifetime, but I think they had 6 over the years since my grandfather came back from WWII....wonderful dogs! :)

Thank you!

I am becoming a big fan of shepherds myself. M y last dog was a fairly similar shepherd-heavy mix.

I’m so happy for you man!

I was curious, do you feed your dog vegan food (is that a thing?)

She's a beautiful dog. Congrats.

Nice! I brought my Shepherd, Diamond, over from the Dominican Republic when she was 4 months old about 5 years ago.

Thanks . I think she’s going to be really good for me.

Vegan dog food is a thing! They put a lot of pea protein in it. We eventually switched my last dog over to a mostly-vegan diet (after a couple years figuring out her allergies and which foods gave her digestive issues).

I hope to transition Ravna  to a vegan diet eventually, but that’s not a priority right now.

She was by far the best birthday gift I’ve ever gotten. We adopted her from a litter owned by a vet (apparently her father is a Miami K-9)

Congrats to both of you ! Being a Shepherd, she’s probably going to need lots of exercise and stimulation. They really like having a job, and you don’t want a bored shepherd because you probably won’t like what they come up with to keep busy.

Thank you! My last dog was a high-energy shepherd-heavy mix, so I have some idea of what to expect. She can’t do too much physically for the next two weeks while her stitches are still in, so I’m gonna be doing a lot of training to keep her occupied.

Hello pup!

Bruno and Ellie are tired from shepherding all day long (barking, playing, begging for treats and such).

Frankie says well  hello there young lady.
