Shay

K-9: Shay, 1 year old German Shepherd

Handler: Paula Sawyer

    By profession, I am a Cardiac ICU Registered Nurse.  I have trained dogs in conformation and obedience for over twenty years.  I am also a new member of Service Dogs of America, the first American organization to recognize working dog titles with a national registry.  I started training Search and Rescue about seven years ago with a six month old American bred German Shepherd named Jessie.

    I am grateful for the recent donation of another American bred German Shepherd named Shay.  Shay is currently one year old and in training for future Search and Rescue certification.  He is smart, active, loving and fun,  all the qualities needed for a good working dog.
