About Coffee:


Striking beauty with captivating blue eyes
Walks beautifully on on a loose leash
Loves to be near you wherever you are (loves curling up next to you on the couch)
Warm and friendly with people of all kinds
Sociable and good with other dogs
A wonderful travel companion!


The Perfect Home for Coffee:

Coffee would thrive with an active family who enjoys outdoor time and adventures. She's easy going and enjoys walks, including in the snow. She has so much love to give and would be happiest with people who can match her friendly, spirited nature — whether that's out and about or snuggled up on the couch.

A Note from Her Previous Family:

Coffee was deeply loved by her previous owners, an elderly couple in rural New Mexico who adored her from the start. With heavy hearts, they made the selfless decision to surrender her — not because of anything Coffee did wrong, but simply because a bigger dog from an energetic breed wasn't the right fit for their current life stage as senior citizens. They want nothing more than for this beautiful girl to find a home where she can truly thrive.

'She is beautiful, sweet, and so full of life. We will miss her terribly, but our greatest wish is for her to find a loving, happy home.'"

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.
