Kensley. Nka Leni

Description

Kensley is almost 4 years old and until very recently, lived a sad life of isolation and exploitation in an Amish puppy mill. This beautiful girl is very skinny, timid, and is missing part of her ear tips to fly strike. Yet, she is still one of the lucky ones, as she made it out, and she now gets a second chance at a good life. She is very timid and everything is new to her, but she is sweet and gentle, and she will be a wonderful, very rewarding addition to the right home who is kind and patient to her as she blossoms and learns trust little by little.Update: We will not be taking applications for Kensley as her foster family has fallen in love with her and will be adopting her. Like all GSDs and other herding breeds that we have in rescue, Piper will need training, consistency, boundaries, and lots of activity and socialization, in order to be a well-balanced, well-behaved dog. This sweet girl would make a great addition to an active home that will provide the love, structure, good leadership, activity and mental stimulation that she needs. Because of that, her ideal owner will have prior GSD, or similar breed experience, and a playful dog buddy. Even if you exercise and play with your dog daily in your fenced yard, please remember that you MUST still take your dog out on daily walks and outings, in order to provide sufficient stimulation, ward off boredom, and work on leash skills and manners.  Piper's adoption fee is $350, all of which goes back into offseting our high-cost vetting expenses and rescuing more dogs. We are a 100% volunteer-run rescue group and rely on adoption fees and donations to continue saving lives. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, fecal, deworming, flea/tick and heartworm preventative, heartworm tested if old enough (and treated if positive), and microchipped.
