Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Jarrettsville, Maryland
MILAN
Shepherd, Mixed Breed
🇺🇸
Jarrettsville, Maryland
May 10th
female, large, young
DESCRIPTION
Milan is 1 year old shepard mix who has shown herself to be the sweetest girl! Officially done with her puppy raising duties, this mama is now looking for her furever home.
Milan has been working very hard on her potty training, has warmed up to enjoying some toys and yummy chews, and loves a good nap on the couch.
She is dog friendly and very tolerant and patient. While playing with other pups, she loves a game of tug, chase, or a good wrestle! Once playtime is over, she loves to lay in the grass with her belly up to the sun
She is still learning to navigate the world around her and while she shows interest in being on leash to go for walks, she is still learning that the leash is safe. For that reason, Milan will need a home with a tall fence. As a shepherd mix, she exhibits some herding behaviors and would do best in a home with older children. She is also heartworm positive but all treatment will be paid for by the rescue if our partner vet is used.
Milan does very well being left at home uncrated (with proper precautions and risky items out of reach), setting off the puppy cam just once to move from one spot of the couch, to another
While shy at first, nothing feels better than the first time you come home and see how excited she is to see you. Any family would be lucky to take Milan home!

ABOUT: MIXED BREED DOG BREED
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.
