Shepherd and Husky Dogs Available for Adoption in Lafayette, California

Meet Wallace — a very handsome 6-year-old Shepsky mix looking for his fresh start.

Wallace came to us from a local shelter where, despite being a staff favorite, the stress of kennel life was starting to wear on him. Since leaving that environment, his true personality has come through—and he’s everything you’d hope for in a companion.

He’s a happy-go-lucky, easygoing guy who gets along well with dogs of all sizes. Wallace is affectionate, gentle, and loves being close to his people. Whether it’s lounging on the couch, going for a stroll, or hopping in the car for an adventure, he’s just happy to be by your side.

At about 80 pounds, Wallace is currently a little overweight and on a health journey to slim down. With regular walks and a balanced routine, he’ll be feeling his best in no time—and he already walks nicely on leash and rides great in the car.

Wallace is wonderful with children and has a playful side too—he especially loves rolling around in the grass and soaking up the simple joys in life.

He’s fully vetted and ready to go home with a family who will continue supporting his health, give him the love he deserves, and let him be the loyal companion he was meant to be.

If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate, and well-rounded dog to share your life with, Wallace is ready to meet you.
