Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Buffalo, Minnesota

Location: Savage, MN

Hi, I'm Norman! My foster mom scooped me up when she heard how I came in to rescue.. I was hanging around the hospital, trying to find some food, when some big dogs came at me and chased me away. Luckily a nice lady who worked there came to help me. I've adjusted to the good life in my foster home really well. There are three other pups here, which I absolutely LOVE! I am learning a lot from the older ones, and I just love to play with the other puppy. I'm an energetic guy who is always up for an adventure! I am very food motivated and happy to have any snack - even the healthy ones! I eat and sleep in my crate, and I caught on to potty training super fast! On the rare occasion I have an accident, its totally my foster parents' fault for not getting me outside when I needed to go. My foster mom tells me her favorite thing about me is my ears, because they are a good mix of floppy and standing up. If you think we might be a good fit, apply to meet me! My foster mom would be happy to tell you all about me!

From my foster mom: Norman recently attended his first adoption event and absolutely crushed it! He was playful with the other pups and very gentle with small kiddos. Chat GPT estimates that he will be around 50 lbs fully grown, so if you are looking for a pup with the looks of a big dog, but on the smaller side, Norman is for you! I think he would do best in a home with another dog, and I think he would also love some human siblings to grow up with!

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.
