Lightening - Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dog Available for Adoption in Lions Bay, British Columbia

Are you looking for the perfect buddy to get out in the sunshine with? Lightening is your boy! He is a super dog and people friendly, active pup that loves to be outside. No matter the size, big or small, Lightening will quickly make friends and want to play. He is great on-leash and being the super smart pup he is, learns things very quickly. He is always up for a snuggle or a flop and belly rub. With excellent recall, this dog is as loyal and loving as they come.

Lightening is a gorgeous model of the breed and is in perfect health and ready for his forever home. His handsome looks stop traffic wherever he goes. He does not have any of the health/genetic concerns that can be typical of the breed. Lightening does get anxious being alone (likely due to never being in a home alone), but does well with a pup companion. For that reason; we are looking for a home with another playful dog. If he had his own yard and an active family, that would just be icing on the cake!

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.
