❤️ Personality & Breed Information
Musa is an adorable 4-month-old German Shepherd / Belgian Shepherd mix weighing approximately 10 pounds. She's still a little puppy with an entire lifetime of learning, growing, exploring, and loving ahead of her.
Musa is friendly with other dogs and good with children. Her compatibility with cats is currently unknown.
With her German Shepherd and Belgian Shepherd heritage, Musa may develop many of the wonderful qualities associated with Shepherd-type dogs. They are often intelligent, loyal, energetic, athletic, curious, and highly trainable. They can form incredibly strong bonds with their families and tend to thrive when they're included in everyday life.
Because Musa is still very young and is a mixed breed, her eventual adult size, appearance, personality, and energy level cannot be predicted with certainty. Her future family should be prepared for the possibility that this tiny 10-pound puppy may grow into a medium-to-large, active adult dog.
She will benefit from a family prepared to give her:
Plenty of love and companionship
Daily age-appropriate exercise and play
Positive-reinforcement training
Puppy socialization
Mental stimulation and enrichment
Interactive toys and games
Consistent routines and boundaries
Safe and appropriate chew toys
Continued veterinary care
Patience through puppyhood and adolescence
A lifelong commitment
Musa is tiny today, but adopting her means committing to every version of her—the puppy, the energetic teenager, the adult dog, and eventually the sweet senior.
Puppy Training, Adjustment & What to Expect
At only four months old, Musa is still a baby. Her adopter should expect normal puppy behaviors such as chewing, occasional potty accidents, bursts of energy, curiosity, distraction, and testing boundaries.
Rescue puppies generally arrive with basic training at best. Musa's family should be ready to continue teaching her:
House training
Crate training as appropriate
Basic commands
Leash manners
Appropriate chewing
Bite inhibition
Calm greetings
Household boundaries
Proper socialization
Handling and grooming
Shepherd mixes can be extremely bright, so mental exercise will be just as important as physical activity as Musa grows. Short training sessions, food puzzles, scent games, interactive toys, and learning new skills are great ways to keep her mind busy.
Training should always focus on positive reinforcement, patience, consistency, and building confidence.
Please also remember the 3-3-3 Rule:
3 Days to decompress and begin feeling safe
3 Weeks to understand her new household routine
3 Months to fully settle in, build trust, and feel at home
The time and effort her family puts into Musa during these early months will help shape the adult dog she becomes.
Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care
Musa has already been spayed, dewormed, treated with NexGard, and received a multiple vaccine.
Because she is only four months old, her adopter should have her vaccination records reviewed by their veterinarian to determine whether additional puppy vaccines or boosters are needed and when they should be administered.
Her future family should continue providing:
Routine veterinary wellness examinations
Completion of any remaining puppy vaccination schedule
Future vaccinations and boosters
Flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention
Quality puppy nutrition appropriate for healthy growth
Healthy weight management
Routine dental care
Age-appropriate exercise
Continued training and socialization
Mental stimulation and enrichment
Veterinary care whenever illness or injury occurs
A safe and loving indoor home
Because Musa is still developing physically, exercise should be appropriate for her age. Her family should avoid excessive repetitive running, jumping, or other strenuous exercise while her body is still growing.
