Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Bridgeport, Connecticut

ECHO (0619)

Hi everyone I’m Echo! I’m a 2-year-old female shepherd mix. I tested well with other dogs and I was non-reactive in the cat room. I am a super energetic, lively, friendly, and athletic girl looking for a breed experienced family that would love to take me on adventures and work with my brain to exercise my body! If that’s you, apply for me today!
