Mixed Breed and Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption

Howdy. My name is Reegan. I am a 15 year old Shepherd mix. I weigh 45lbs. I am a very good girl. I tend to wander, sort of like in my own little world. When I came to Lizzy’s, I was only in my own world. Then they did t-touch and I am less in my own world. I acknowledge people, I come in when called, I find my way up the ramp on my own, etc. I come in on my own. I am very proud of how much I have progressed and I am going to continue to get better and better. I would love a home of my very own. I can be with dogs or without dogs. It doesn’t matter to me. I don’t believe I would mind cats….. as long as they don’t mind me. I am spayed, up to date on vaccines, and heartworm negative. I am looking for a foster or forever family of my own. I hope to hear from you. If you have questions about me, email lizzyshospice.com.

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.

The shepherd dog breed encompasses a versatile group known for their intelligence, loyalty, and strong work ethic. With a heritage deeply rooted in herding and protecting livestock, shepherds excel at various tasks ranging from obedience and agility competitions to search and rescue missions. Their protective nature makes them excellent family pets, offering unwavering devotion and a natural instinct to watch over and care for their loved ones. In addition to their remarkable abilities, shepherds are often characterized by their distinctive appearance, including a sturdy build, alert expression, and a signature double coat that provides insulation and protection in various climates.
