Weight: 25 lbs (and growing!)
DNA Tested: 100% German Shepherd Dog

Meet Brenna, a beautiful black German Shepherd puppy with a playful spirit, sharp mind, and loyal heart. DNA testing confirmed that Brenna is 100% German Shepherd Dog, and she embodies everything people love about the breedintelligence, athleticism, devotion, and a strong desire to be part of the family.

Brenna is an active young puppy who loves to play, explore, and accompany her people on walks. She enjoys the company of other dogs and would thrive in a home that can provide plenty of exercise, training, and mental stimulation. While she has lots of puppy energy, she settles nicely after playtime and enjoys relaxing with her family.

She is already leash trained, has been kept on heartworm prevention, is fecal negative, and has received all four rounds of her puppy vaccines. Brenna would do well with children who understand how to interact respectfully with a growing puppy. She is not the best match for a home with cats.

Brenna's story began before she was even born. Her mother and father were abandoned at a veterinary clinic when her mom was just weeks away from delivering her litter. Thanks to rescue, Brenna and her siblings were given the chance at a bright future.

While black German Shepherds are less common than the traditional color pattern, it is Brenna's wonderful personalitynot just her striking appearancethat makes her so special. She is eager to learn, loves to please, and is ready to become a devoted companion for an active family or individual.

If you're looking for a smart, loyal, adventurous best friend, Brenna may be the perfect match for you!
