Hello! My name is Simpson. I am a Shepard mix who was transferred here from our partners at Best Friend's Navajo Nation. The staff here at C.A.R.E. are still taking the time to get to know me and all my good dog qualities. With the love and cuddles provided by the staff, I am warming up and showing my true colors! I seem to love walks and yard time. I do, as well, enjoy the company of people when they sit in my room with me. I am still taking time being comfortable with the other shelter dogs. If you would like to get to know me better, fill out an adoption survey to see if we are a good match!

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.
