Update 4/15/2025: The adoption link for Foxy is still active. Please continue to save. The more visibility she gets, the better her odds are of being rescued. Thank you!
Los Angeles County, CA – A gorgeous, two-year-old German shepherd was surrendered by her family for being “overly loving” and now she is slated to be killed in two days (4/12/2025). The shepherd, Foxy, is at the Carson Animal Care facility and staff is trying to find somewhere for her to go, before she is euthanized for “behavior.”
Surrender notes indicate this young shepherd was too affectionate and lacked training.
Her prior owner’s failures have resulted in a rescue only designation for this dog, and a death sentence.
Behavior notes on 3/26/25 at the facility are as follows:
On approach she was laying down and eagerly stood up to greet me. Loose tail and wiggly body. Able to leash without incident. Moderate pull and turning to interact with me. Brought her to the small yard and she was seeking engagement. Once I knelt down I was able to pet/touch and handle without incident. She can be a little mouthy and jumpy, slightly anxious behavior. Releashed and returned to kennel without issue. Due to mouthy/jumpy behavior with handlers, Adults Rec with KHOA from previous owner home
Anyone familiar with the German shepherd breed will recognize Foxy’s behavior as typical. She is young, energetic, and untrained – thanks to the family who owned and then surrendered her. She needs structure, training, and love – she needs to be saved before she is lost forever, through no fault of her own.

WHY WHY WHY get this dog to then abandon her??? This sweet beautiful dog deserves to be happy and deserves to be away from that UNCARING UNGRATEFUL AWFUL PARENTS. These people have no heart!
Why does she have to be euthanized? Why isn’t there some attempt to find her another place so she can actually be adopted? She is this way because she was 80% an outside dog and probably never had company and was overexcited when she did have someone out there with her. Stupid people should not have any kind of animals if they don’t know how to treat them!
