Shepherd and Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption

PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION BELOW

The Shepherd/Retriever mixes came from a hoarding situation where life was crowded, confusing, and lonely.
No gentle hands.
No reassurance.
Just survival.

Now they’re safe, but they don’t know what to do with it yet.
Every sound startles them.
Every new moment feels big and uncertain.
They want to trust… they just don’t know how.
They need a calm, quiet home.
Soft voices.
Patience.
Another dog to lean on would mean everything as they learn what love is supposed to feel like.
No small children.
