Shepherd and Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Waxhaw, North Carolina

Dan is a tiny Shepherd/Terrier mix with a big future ahead of her. He came into our care at just 2 weeks old after his mom was hit by a car. Working alongside another rescue, we were able to step in and save Dan and his littermates.

As a bottle baby, Dan has been raised with lots of hands-on care, love, and around-the-clock attention. Now at 4-weeks-old (as of 5/1/26), he's growing stronger every day and beginning to reach those sweet puppy milestones.

If you're looking for a sweet pup with a resilient start and a bright future, Dan might just be your guy.
