Kiera

German Shepherd · Female · Young · 2 years

Kiera is lively, young German Shepherd who is full of charm and brimming with personality. She is looking for an active home that can provide her with plenty of exercise and ongoing training. Kiera loves getting out on long walks to explore her surroundings. She also enjoys having the opportunity to burn off energy in our paddocks where she can stretch her legs and enjoy some freedom. Kiera thrives when she has both physical exercise and mental stimulation, making her a good companion for owners who enjoy spending time outdoors. She has particularly enjoyed enrichment activities during her time in our care. She has taken part in search work and scent trails, which have helped keep her busy mind occupied. New owners may wish to continue these activities at home as it's a great way to keep her mind engaged and fulfilled. She also enjoys using slow feeders at mealtimes and has shown a real enthusiasm for destruction boxes. Kiera has shown herself to be an excitable and friendly girl when meeting new people. Her enthusiasm can make her a little bouncy at first, and she may jump up in greeting. Once she has settled, she really enjoys a calm, gentle fuss, or she’s just as happy to chase after a soft toy if one is offered. Kiera has shown playful behaviours around other dogs and enjoys social interaction. However, she can struggle to read other dogs, becoming overly enthusiastic during play and finding it difficult to recognise when they’ve had enough. As a result, Kiera is looking for a home where she will be the only dog, allowing her owners to focus on her training and social development. Once settled, her new family should continue working on her social skills through carefully managed introductions. Owners should feel confident reading her body language and helping Kiera learn appropriate social interactions. Keeping her on lead during introductions and around unfamiliar dogs will help her understand that she does not need to greet every dog she sees while out walking. A home with a secure private garden is essential for Kiera. This will provide her with a safe space to enjoy off-lead time, burn off energy, and relax between adventures. Potential owners would need to speak to a Battersea vet prior to rehoming. For owners who understand the needs of a young, intelligent, and active Shepherd breed, Kiera will be an engaging companion who is always eager to learn and explore the world by their side.
