Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Overland Park, Kansas

Meet Albert

DOB: 03/07/2026
Current weight: ~6+ lbs
Estimated adult weight: ~25-35 lbs
Breed: Mixed breed (shepherd-type mix - best guess)

Albert is the big boy of the group and he knows it.

He's a playful, confident puppy who is always in the middle of the action. Toys, wrestling with his brother, exploring something new - Albert is all in. He has that fun, rough-and-tumble personality that keeps things lively.

Albert is also just a really sweet boy once he slows down. After playtime, he's happy to crash and recharge before heading back out for more adventures.

One thing that sets Albert apart is his slightly fluffier, softer coat, giving him that extra cuddly, plush look people love.

In his foster home, Albert:

Is playful, confident, and full of personality
Loves toys and interactive play
Is curious and quick to explore
Has met other dogs and does great
Has met children and new people and does well
Is working on potty pad training

Albert will do best in a home ready for an active, playful puppy and willing to provide structure, training, and appropriate outlets for his energy. Like all puppies, he will need continued work with house training, crate training, and basic manners.

Breed mix is a best guess based on appearance.

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.
