STARBURST - German Shepherd Dog and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Albuquerque, New Mexico

Starburst (A1914054) is a spayed female currently waiting for her new family at the Westside City Shelter. She is an energetic, playful girl who would love a home with room to run and a person who enjoys going on walks and adventures. Starburst is a smart cookie who has already had some training—she knows how to sit and lie down and is clearly ready to learn even more with a little time and consistency. She has gone on a Dog Day Out to Tingley Beach, where she did very well and showed what a fun companion she can be. She rides calmly in the car and loves to play fetch, making her a great partner for an active person or family. If you already have a dog at home, Starburst would need a meet-and-greet with your dog to be sure they’re a good match. If you’re looking for an affectionate, bright, and active dog to share your adventures, Starburst would love to meet you at the Westside City Shelter.
