Online Cat Adoption Application

01/13/2015:  Bijoux was returned to PRBJ  today by her owners: a lawyer and teacher. They stated she is distructive and afraid of the husband. From what we have seen, Bijoux laid in our living room all day and night, and, as prior to her adoption, never touched a thing. She sat with 3 children and 2 men and was a perfect lady. Bijoux needs lots of exercise, such as walks and runs. She would do best in a home with a quiet, calm household, and if homed with another dog, one that likes to run and play tug of war.  She is nervous around men and just needs some patience and gentle handling.  This has been noticed since coming back from prior owner. Bijoux is a trash hunter.   

Bijoux came in as stray. She is very sweet and loving with all of the staff and volunteers, she also likes other dogs and kids. Needs some TLC to help build her confidence. She  will be a great addition to your family. Judy.  We observed Bijoux with cats and she seemed to be good with the cats.  She sniffed the cat allowed our cat to sniff her and she was fine.   

*According to dogbreedinfo.com, in April 1899, Capt. Max von Stephanitz registered a dog named Horan as the first Deutsche Schäferhunde, which means German Shepherd Dog in English. Known for their tremendous loyalty and courage, they are calmly confident, but not hostile. This breed needs his people and should not be left isolated for long periods of time. They only bark when it is necessary. Serious and almost human in his intelligence, they have a high learning ability. The breed is so intelligent and learns so readily that it has been used as a sheepdog, guard dog, in police work, as a guide for the blind, in search and rescue service, and in the military. The German Shepherd also excels in many other dog activities including schutzhund, tracking, obedience, agility, flyball, and ring sport. His fine nose can sniff out drugs and intruders, and can alert handlers to the presence of underground mines in time to avoid detonation, or gas leaks in a pipes buried 15 feet underground. A quick daily brushing is best unless hair in the house is not a problem. They should be bathed rarely, only once or twice a year to avoid skin oil depletion. Shepherds have a life expectancy around 13 years.
