Whether it’s snuggling on the couch, in the office or playing with friends Kosas is up for any adventure. Just make sure you have a bag of yummy treats with you. She is sweet, very curious, energetic, observant and intelligent. She is learning tricks in both English and Spanish- she knows sit, stay, paw, down, come here, and her name! She plays well with large dogs and children. She doesn’t bark at strangers but enjoys sitting on the porch and people watching. Kosas is also a ✨passenger princess 👑 ✨ and enjoys car rides in her car seat. She sleeps very well through the night and takes naps throughout the day in her crate or bed. She enjoys playing with puzzle toys and chasing squeaky balls.

German Shepherd

🧠 Temperament

She is sweet, very curious, energetic, observant and intelligent. Confident, highly trainable and deeply loyal, bred to work all day alongside a handler.

🎾 Exercise

High — 60-90+ minutes daily plus a job to do. Scent work and obedience are ideal outlets.

✂️ Grooming

Heavy double-coat shedding year-round with two big blowouts a year. Brush several times a week.

🏙️ In an LA apartment

She doesn’t bark at strangers but enjoys sitting on the porch and people watching. Demanding in an apartment: large, vocal and often reactive to the constant stimulus of a city street.

Adoption fee $700
