Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

A female puppy with a song in her heart

Gretl is one of the adorable stars of our Von Trapp / Sound of Music litter, and this little lady is ready to sing her way straight into your heart

She's happy, silly, and bursting with joyful puppy energy. Gretl loves to play, explore, and be right in the middle of whatever her people are doing. Whether she's romping around or soaking up attention, she brings nonstop smiles everywhere she goes

Gretl is currently working on crate training, housebreaking, and all the puppy basics, learning more every day as she grows into the amazing dog she's meant to be.

She's looking for a forever family that's home enough to raise a puppy and excited for all the laughs, learning, and love that come with puppyhood.

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.
