Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Metamora, Michigan

Meet Whisper!

Agile and affectionate, this 1-year-old, 38-pound shepherd/lab mix is everything you could ask for in a pup!

Before coming to GLDR, Whisper spent some time in a foster home and we are excited to share what we know about him! This impressive pup is already crate-trained and on his way to being house-trained as well.

Whisper is a fan of all sorts of toys-especially squeakers! When it comes to treats, he sits nicely and takes them gently. He is learning multiple commands and we have no doubt he will impress everyone he meets. Of course Whisper always makes time to snuggle with his adoring volunteers.

A family that can provide lots of daily exercise and continued training is a must for Whisper. He's a very athletic guy who could be excellent in agility. He would love to be part of the action and needs a nice yard to explore in his new home. Whisper always has a blast playing fetch in the yard and will bring the ball back to you time after time.

Based on our evaluation, we feel Whisper would do best in an active home with adults or families with kids ages eight and up. He may have the capacity to live in a home with other animals and we are happy to do a meet and greet with your family fur baby!

If you think he could be the pup for you, head to greatlakesdogrescue.com today and submit your application for our wonderful Whisper!

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.
