Shandy - German Shepherd Dog and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Portland, Oregon

My name is Shandy and I am a 3-year-old Shepherd who weighs about 68 lbs.
I came up from Northern California with a litter of puppies, and now that my mom duties are done, I'm ready to find a forever home of my own!

I'm a friendly, social girl who does well with other dogs, but if I had to choose, I'd pick my humans every time. I absolutely love snuggles and attention and am happiest when I'm close to my people.

Outside, though? That's where my fun, goofy side really shines. Give me a yard and I'll show you my best "parkour zoomies" - running, bouncing, and having the time of my life. Once I've gotten that energy out, I'm right back inside ready to curl up and be your cuddle buddy.

I do want to be upfront that I showed strong interest in a cat here at the clinic, including growling, so I would likely do best in a home without cats or small animals. I may have a higher prey drive, so this is something my future family should be mindful of.

I'm looking for a home that will enjoy both sides of me - the playful, energetic outdoor adventurer and the calm, affectionate snuggle bug indoors.

If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion with a fun personality and a soft side, I might just be your girl!

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.
