Kristina is a 5-year-old female German Shepherd mix, about 76 pounds (ID No. A483416).

She can seem aloof at first, but once she gets to know you she is very friendly and loves to play! She loves having her chest scratched and will lean into you as you do it. Her favorite game to play with people is to take turns chasing each other around.

Kristina knows how to sit on command and is good on a leash. Due to her size and initial aloofness, Kristina would do best in a home with kids at least 12 years and older who will understand she needs time to get used to them before wanting to play with them. You should also use caution when introducing her to any kitties in your home. Also, she will need to meet any current dogs in your home before being adopted just to make sure everyone gets along. If you’re looking for a sweet girl to be part of your family, Kristina may be the one for you! You can find out more about her on her Pet Finder profile at www.petfinder.com/petdetail/34034130.
