DEE
Mixed Breed, Shepherd
🇺🇸
Pass Christian, Mississippi
March 6th
female, large, adult
DESCRIPTION
Looking for a loyal, 70lb hiking partner who thinks a splash in the water is the best part of the day? Meet your new best friend! At 4 years young, I’m the perfect mix of "Let's go for a run!" and "Let's chill." I’m a healthy, spayed, and heartworm-negative girl who is ready to find her forever home.
If you’re looking for a solid companion for your daily adventures, I’m your girl. I have a great balance of energy—I’m always up for a long walk or a run, but I’m also happy to settle in once the exercise is done. I like the water and I'm happy to get in for a splash or a cool-down during our outdoor excursions.
I am a huge fan of my toys! While I haven't quite mastered "fetch" (I prefer to keep what I find!), I am a professional at carrying my treasures around. Because I love my toys so much, I can be possessive of my collection, so I’ll need a home where my playthings are managed safely.
I’m currently a "curvy" 70 lbs, and my vet would like to see me lose about 10 lbs to keep my joints jumping for years to come. I love my exercise, so I just need a partner to help me stay on track with a healthy diet and plenty of steps!
Social Style: I am currently looking for a home where I can be the star of the show while my humans get to know me. While I lived in harmony with my best bud, Woody (who is also available for adoption BTW) I am choosy about my doggie friends so would probably do best as the #1 star of your show.
I value my food as much as my toys! I’m currently fed in my own space so I can relax and enjoy my dinner in peace.
Top Skills: Walking on a leash, riding in a car, splashing in the water, and being a loyal companion.
The Bottom Line: I’m a vibrant, active girl who just needs a little structure and a lot of love. If you want a walking buddy who will cherish every toy you give her, I’m waiting for you!

ABOUT: MIXED BREED DOG BREED
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.
