Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Cardamom (“Cardi”) – Small Package, Big Personality! 🌿🐾

Born at the end of December as one of the adorable Chai Tea girls, Cardi is a petite shepherd mix with a whole lot of spunk packed into her tiny frame.

This clever little lady loves a good game of keep-away and is known for launching surprise “sneak attacks” on her sister Ginger — playful, quick, and always keeping things interesting! While she enjoys romping around, Cardi also has a thoughtful, curious side. She often prefers to observe the resident dogs from the sidelines, taking it all in like the smart cookie she is.

When playtime wraps up, Cardi is all about the cuddles. She loves snuggling close to her people and soaking up affection.

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.
