Shepherd and Australian Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Chattanooga, Tennessee

Cherry Garcia is the kind of puppy who brings instant joy wherever she goes. Playful, curious, and full of life, she’s always ready to bounce into a game with her dog friends or chase after whatever catches her attention. Once she’s gotten her zoomies out, she’s just as happy to melt into your arms and soak up all the snuggles she can get. She truly loves people and wants to be right in the middle of whatever you’re doing.

Cherry Garcia has that perfect puppy balance of energy and sweetness. She’ll run and play until she’s completely worn out, then happily curl up for a nap like the little baby she still is. She would thrive in a home that can keep up with her playful spirit and give her plenty of space to explore, which is why a fenced-in yard will be required for her.

Currently in a foster home in Chattanooga, TN, and available for transport to a number of locations within the continental United States.
