German Shepherd Dog and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Brewster, Massachusetts

MEET BEAR! My friends describe me as: Goofy, Playful, Shy Bear is an extremely handsome and sweet boy weighing 53 pounds with long legs. He looks like a shepherd mix with his handsome black and tan locks and his gorgeous smile. When we talk about Bear we smile because he is such a fun, active dude who loves adventures whether it be sniffari walks, playtime with dogs or just chillin' on the couch watching a movie all day. He enjoys car rides, going to the beach, playing with toys, learning new tricks including 'speak', 'sit', 'laydown', 'paw' and 'other paw'! He sometimes gets nervous of new people but warms up quickly. Like a shepherd he alert barks at things sometimes so if that is what you are looking for then he's available for the job! Bear is an agile guy and has lots of life in him so an adopter who is looking for a dog that they can go on adventures with would be ideal. Just because of his size we are thinking teens and older and if you have another dog in your home looking for a fun, happy and hunk of a guy to play with please consider adding Bear to your home! He fits all the boxes! Bear is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been neutered, microchipped and seen by our vet team. We welcome adopters from NH, RI, CT, and NY however, we are unable to facilitate same day adoptions due to state regulated paperwork requirements.

The German Shepherd Dog, known for its intelligence, loyalty, and versatility, is a popular and highly regarded breed worldwide. This breed excels in various roles such as police work, search and rescue, and assistance for individuals with disabilities. German Shepherd Dogs are strong, agile, and confident with a distinctive double coat that can be straight or wavy. Their character is marked by courage, loyalty, and a strong work ethic, making them ideal companions and protectors for families and professionals alike.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
