Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Pupperoni, another member of our meaty crew!

Pupperoni is a 5-month-old Shepherd mix who currently weighs about 36 pounds. He came to the shelter alongside six littermates after being found as strays.

In his time with us, Pupperoni has shown himself to be a very sweet puppy. At this age, he is still in an important stage of growth and development, and continued training, structure, and positive socialization will be essential as he matures. Shepherd mixes are often intelligent and energetic dogs who do best with engaged owners prepared to provide guidance and activity.

Pupperoni is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations.

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.
