Foster comments: Crackers is a sweet girl with a huge heart, who feels so hard and loves so much. She will give all her love and happiness to her forever family. Cuddling is one of her favourite things! She is wonderful with kids of all ages and she loves to play fetch! She loves playing with tennis balls and will carry them in her mouth around the house - they are her most favourite toy. She also loves a good chew toy, which is great for crate time which she easily goes into. She has been living with several dogs and kids and plays well with both. She has been known to get overly excited when playing with other dogs and can “ mouth” their legs or snap her mouth to show she wants to play more or wants to be boss. It is harmless and if a dog makes a noise she stops straight away. She loves being around people and warms quickly. She can be very protective of her family barking if scared. She would do best on family walks compared to dog parks feeling like she can’t protect all of her family with too many other animals around I believe is a worry for Crackers. An adopter with German Shepherd experience would be beneficial given their protective nature. She loves so much and is so deserving of a wonderful family who will love her back!!
