Hi, I’m Gloria! I’m a charming 2.5-year-old Shepherd mix who traveled from Afghanistan in search of my forever home. My past is a bit of a mystery, but my foster mom suspects I was once a stray. While I’m not as tall as a typical Shepherd, I do shed a bit, so be prepared for some fur.

I’m a friendly girl who loves meeting new people, though I can be a bit vocal at first—just a way to let you know I’m eager for some attention and pets! Once I get those belly rubs, I’m all wagging tails and happy vibes. My tail wag is so enthusiastic it makes my whole body sway—it’s quite the sight!

I’m a bit of a work in progress with some quirks. I’m great in a crate, but I tend to jump up on people, so older kids are probably best for now while I work on my manners. I do enjoy the company of other dogs but can be a little too enthusiastic. I'm not as good with tiny dogs but I do just fine with my 30lb foster brother. I prefer to eat alone, as I get protective over my food and treats, so my foster feeds me in my crate to avoid any issues.

I haven’t met any cats and, given my reaction to smaller dogs, it’s probably best I don’t. I ride beautifully in the car and am making strides with my leash training—though I still pull a bit.

My big, brown eyes are full of hope. Will you be the one to give me the loving home I’ve been dreaming of?

We’ve got some exciting news about this pup’s age! Thanks to DNA testing from Embark, we’ve got a fresh take on how old they really are. A big shoutout to Embark for generously donating these tests for us to explore! You might spot a difference between Embark's findings and our original guess—after all, no test or person is 100% accurate. It’s all part of the adventure!
