Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Rapunzel!
4 months old | ~18 lbs | Shepherd mix
Female (spayed)

Looking for a smart, spunky, and slightly adventurous best friend? Rapunzel is your girl! This curious cutie is full of puppy energy and personality—she'll keep you laughing, moving, and completely in love.

‍ Athlete Alert!
Rapunzel has some serious hops—she's already cleared 30”, 36”, and even 48” gates! Because of her impressive skills, she'll need a secure yard (6 ft fence recommended) or a dedicated leash routine.

Loves Her People
She's happiest right by your side. While she's not a huge fan of sleeping alone in her crate, she settles quickly and does great with daytime naps.

Smart & Learning
Rapunzel already knows how to sit for treats and is eager to learn more! Like any bright pup, she'll thrive with structure, consistency, and continued training.

Social Butterfly (with a little sass)
• Great with kids
• Good with other dogs (learning to share toys!)
• Cat tested—curious at first, now mostly uninterested

Rapunzel is the perfect mix of playful energy and loyal companionship. With the right guidance, she's going to grow into an incredible best friend. (52)
