Breed: German Shepherd or possibly a mix

DOB: 04/27/2026

Weight: The puppies in this litter currently weigh between 7 and 12 lbs at 7 weeks of age. Mom will weigh 70-ish lbs when she reaches full weight. She came to us as an emaciated and pregnant stray. We were not there at the time of conception, so we don't actually know who their dad is. BUT there was a male GSD who was dumped in the same place at the same time as her, and we suspect he could be the dad or A dad of the puppies (since each egg is fertilized individually, technically each pup could have a different father). It will be fun to watch them grow! Any adopter should be prepared for them to be mixed breed but to also have the personality, intelligence, and charisma of a German Shepherd. And also the thick coat.

Notes from foster: Heath is an absolute teddy bear! We have called him that since he was born. He's always been a little bit fuzzier than his siblings and he loves to be held and have his belly rubbed. Heath sleeps in the funniest positions sometimes. When he was little, he slept on his back spread eagle a lot, without a care in the world. He's smart and loves to play!

Medical notes: The puppies have had 1st round of vaccines, multiple wormings, and have been microchipped. Adopters take over the veterinary care for continued vaccines, but the cost of their spay/neuter is covered in their adoption fee.

If you are interested in giving Heath the permanent, loving home that he deserves, please fill out an application at the link below to get the ball rolling on a meet and greet.
