Star fka Butterscotch (JA24-35) - German Shepherd Dog and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Peyton, Colorado

Star's adoption fee has been sponsored by a generous donor!

Star is a 2-year-old, 60-pound German Shepherd mix who is looking for a special person to call her own. She can be a little shy when meeting new people at first, but she is steadily building her trust and socialization skills along the way. Once Star feels comfortable and builds a bond with you, you'll have a truly loyal companion by your side.

Star is a wonderful walking buddy and walks great on a leash. She loves getting out for walks and exploring the world around her. She is also a very smart girl who knows some basic commands and enjoys learning.

Star loves to play with other dogs, but is still navigating feeling safe with them living in the same home! She seems to prefer male dogs, but a meet and greet at the shelter will be required regardless to ensure a great fit. She would thrive in an adult-only home with a consistent routine, structure, and patient guidance to help her continue building confidence.

If you're looking for a smart, devoted companion who will reward your patience with a deep and loyal bond, Star may be the girl for you. Give her the time to trust you, and you may just gain a best friend for life.

Many NMDR dogs have had limited prior socialization and may need time, patience, and support as they adjust to home life. Skills such as house training, leash walking, and handling may require continued practice. Progress will vary by individual dog. Homes with older children are often a good fit, depending on temperament. To learn more about NMDR and our adoption process, please visit our website.

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.
