Ursa the German Shepherd

Beautiful Ursa looks very very happy & content!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ursa you are a gorgeous girl. So happy you found a great home. Lots more years of happiness for you.

What a beautiful girl and a great story of a happy ending rescue. I have heard that rescues show their appreciation to their owners for the rest of their life and I am sure that Ursa is an example that this is true. Have a wonderful life, sweet girl, and always remain a puppy at heart.

Ursa is beautiful. Sounds like a lovely girl. You can see the love in her beautiful brown eyes that she has for the person holding the camera. Many happy days for you to come.

Ursa major. Ursa minor .... it doesn't matter. You are a lovely lady and I wish you all of life's best.

I am SO in love with this beautiful girl - Ursa, you are so special.

Ursa, the bear, is absolutely lovely, A wonderful representative of the breed. Thank you so much for rescuing her and saving her life. What kind of a breeder would sell off puppies so early, it is all wrong, they need to spend time with the dog-families until at least 8 weeks of age, in order to set them up for life. I got one of my GSD's at six weeks and sent her back for two more. I'm so glad Ursa got past that bad start and is such a WONDERFUL girl. Thank you. A seven year old princess.

Ursa, you are beautiful! I'm sure you are the sweet great doggy you are, in part, due to the "loving" care you received from a wee baby....God bless you and your family; I pray your siblings were as lucky. Kisses and belly rubs for you....11+++++ biscuits

Ursa is certainly a gorgeous girl and there is so much love and respect for her in her family. I am glad she had you and your family as a "mother" so early in a little babe's life. You are all blessed to have each other and we wish you the best of life. Cheers to Ursa Major!(couldn't resist).

Beautiful shepherd!

Thanks, everyone, for your kind comments. Back then, I was planning for a Rottweiler, but now it feels like Ursa (from minor to major, as has been noted!) was meant to be there all along in a way hard to articulate. The only dog to ever bite me was a GSD, which left a lasting impression on a 12 year-old paperboy. But I recall now it lived on a chain in a grubby yard, and probably didn't have a very good life. Then Ursa turned up needing a home, five pounds of tummy and one pound of paws, black and bear cub-like, and turned my world upside down and right-side up. I'm not good at saying "no" to pleading eyes, so I've had to work hard at keeping her weight down. For her hips, and to avoid having a fat old diabetic dog, which is far too common. See you around on Daily Puppy: adorable dogs and kind humans make a great combination and guarantee my daily visit.

Ursa is such a beautiful girl! Wonderful rescue story and so glad she has such a good home.

What a very lovely girl Ursa is..glad you took her in
