Selma - German Shepherd Dog and Husky Dog for Adoption in Glendale, Arizona

ADOPTION OF A PUPPY UNDER 9 MONTHS OF AGE

The dog you are interested in is a puppy (under a year old). We have criteria for our adoptions of puppies. Puppies are adopted on a foster-to-adopt basis until the puppy is old enough to be neutered/spayed (we prefer them to be no younger than 7 months for females and 9 months for males). Houses with pools must demonstrate that puppies can be protected from the pool with fencing or a cover. Home visits for shots will be required, so puppies are adopted to homes in Maricopa County only. Puppies often have multiple potential adopters, so SPR evaluates what home is best matched with any given puppy and their expected home needs once they have grown.

Meet Selma!

Born in March 2026, Selma is a beautiful, intelligent puppy with a big personality and an adventurous spirit. Her mom is a German Shepherd, and her dad is a German Shepherd/Husky mix—both with wonderful temperaments.

Selma is good with people, children, and other dogs. She is a confident girl who will not back down, so she needs a strong, experienced handler who will provide structure, consistent training, and continued socialization.

This smart girl loves the water and is always ready to learn and explore. With the right guidance, patience, and love, Selma will grow into an incredibly loyal and devoted companion. She is looking for an active family who will help her become the very best girl she can be!
