Anya Von Avenal is a gorgeous 3 year old, larger sized black German Shepherd. We think this amazing girl is going to be an amazing fit for an owner who seeks a strong, smart and devoted companion. Happy and confident in the world, Anya plunges into walks with gusto, meeting other dogs with calm assertion. She doesn’t show any aggression toward other dogs at the rescue, either male or female, and her excellent social skills are on full display in playgroups. Anya’s enthusiasm can use some refinement as she starts out on walks, and experience shows that Miss Smartypants responds well to firm correction by her leash handler. Anyone who wants to interact daily with a highly intelligent and outrageously personable Shepherd needs to meet Anya today!
