“Ursa” means “little girl bear,” and that’s just what Ursa is! She’s a cuddly and sweet five-year-old female German Shepherd. She was brought to Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) as a stray and is looking for her forever home.

At 63 pounds, Ursa is considered a large breed dog.  She knows several commands and has a calm, mature temperament.  She is well-trained, polite, and attentive. She is friendly with everyone and always ready for her next adventure!  Her only boundary seems to be her tail…paws off that please! 

Ursa was at a wonderful foster home. Her foster family found that she enjoys car rides, walks, exploring and napping. She is somewhat independent, has nice leash manners and is very sweet. 

She is spayed, current on vaccinations, and microchipped! Ursa’s adoption comes with many benefits, including 30 days of opt-in pet health insurance from Trupanion and a rebate on dog training from Rover. Since she’s our Pet of the Week, Ursa’s adoption fee is reduced, but a pet license fee may apply. Learn about all the benefits that come with a pet license at kingcounty.gov/LicenseMyPet.
