Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Kuma, our teddy bear! He is exactly that - a loving, playful, cuddle bug with the biggest heart. You can sense it as soon as you meet him!

This adorable 3 month old is also incredibly smart and food motivated. He quickly mastered sit and down and can't wait to add more tricks to his repertoire! Kuma is crate trained, sleeping through the night with no accidents, and mostly potty trained. He has a knack for quickly sensing what you're trying to get him to do and is excited to oblige!

Our social man is looking for his forever family and
would fit in great with young kids or another dog buddy to play with. He loves his routine, which right now alternates between wrestling and playing tug with his foster siblings, cuddling on the couch (preferably on your lap), and taking naps in his crate. We anticipate Kuma will grow into a medium to large dog, and he is a great balance of energy levels. He is a lover boy who will be the most loyal companion, so come meet Kuma!
