Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Say hello to JoJo - our southern gentleman all the way from Georgia who is ready to rewrite his story in New York! JoJo was adopted two years ago and had a home, even attending doggy daycare where he was such a star that they were shocked to see him back at the shelter. Sadly, he was picked up and never reclaimed, and no one knows why. What we do know is that this boy is pure gold. JoJo is incredibly sweet with so much love to give, amazing with people, great with kids, and truly FANTASTIC with other dogs. In fact, he's our go-to dog tester at the shelter - he blends beautifully with every play style, avoids drama, and calmly walks away from conflict like the mature king he is. Now, JoJo is searching for the forever home he absolutely deserves. He's handsome, one-of-a-kind, and ready to be someone's loyal best friend. Come meet this special boy and let's make sure this time, it's forever.

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.
