Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Marion, Texas

Aster and her five siblings were born to their mother, Gloria, on March 25th in a shelter near our rescue. At just 3 days old, they came into our care, where they’ve spent the last 8+ weeks growing, thriving, and preparing for their forever homes.

Aster is a gentle, quiet girl with a thoughtful personality. She’s very observant and prefers to hang back for a moment to see what her braver siblings think before trying something new herself. Once she feels comfortable, though, she happily seeks out attention and affection. She’s especially sweet and polite when taking treats.

Because Aster seems to enjoy a calmer environment, we feel she would do best in a home with children over 6 years old or in a more peaceful setting.

Here at Good Catch, she’s settled into a wonderful routine, starting her mornings bright and early with her siblings, followed by a full day of playtime, naps and puppy antics before bedtime around 9 PM.

We expect Aster to grow to around the size of her mama, Gloria, who weighs approximately 65 pounds. She has a thick, beautiful coat and will likely do very well in cooler climates. You can also see her brother Otis’s DNA results in the photos on our website www.goodcatchdogrescue for a better idea of the litter’s breed makeup.

At nearly 9 weeks old, Aster’s personality is still developing, but we can already picture her becoming an incredible companion and future hiking partner once she’s fully grown.

Aster is up to date on her vaccinations, on flea, tick and heartworm prevention, microchipped and has been on a deworming schedule since she was 2 weeks old. She and her siblings currently enjoy Purina Pro Plan puppy kibble and never turn down a good puppy snack!

We are based in Texas but adopt to multiple states. Our goal is always to find the very best match for each pup, and we work with trusted transport partners to safely deliver them to their forever homes.

Puppies in our care who are 6 months or older are spayed or neutered through Good Catch; for younger puppies, this responsibility falls to the adopter.

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.
