Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Rochester, Indiana

I'm a Shepherd mix puppy born at the end of January... and my story didn't start the way it should have.

My siblings and I were found on the side of the road... inside a plastic storage container. Now I'm looking for my happily-ever-after!



Playful and curious Smart and eager to learn Just a baby still figuring everything out

Because I'm a Shepherd mix, I'm going to grow into a dog who is:

Intelligent High energy Strong and driven

That means I'll need more than just love... I'll need guidance, structure, and consistency as I grow!



Right now, I'll need help learning potty training, crate training and basic manners. And one of the MOST important things for me is socialization

I need to be safely and consistently exposed to new people, places, sounds, and experiences so I can grow into a confident, well adjusted adult.



I would do best with a family who:

Is committed to training and structure

Understands the needs of Shepherd-type dogs

Is ready for the puppy phase AND the lifelong commitment!



Spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines and on monthly prevention. Adoption fee is $160

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.
