Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption

Ready for their forever homes March 8

These four precious Shepherd mix puppies were found dumped in the Central Valley alongside their devoted mama, Shelby. Thanks to Shelby's incredible care and love, these babies have grown into happy, healthy, super sweet pups who are now ready to start their next chapter.

Meet the crew:
Pudge - Male
Porky - Male
Polly - Female
Skippie - Female

Shelby did an amazing job raising her little ones, and it shows. They are affectionate, playful, and wonderfully social. They love attention, enjoy being cuddled, and are full of that joyful puppy energy.

As Shepherd mixes, we expect them to be:
Intelligent and eager to learn
Loyal and people-focused
Active and playful
Devoted family companions

We estimate they will be 50+ pounds full grown, so they'll grow into beautiful, medium-to-large dogs. Shepherd mixes thrive with structure, training, and active homes that will include them in adventures and daily life. With continued socialization and positive reinforcement, these pups will blossom into incredible lifelong companions.

They've had a loving start thanks to their sweet mama - now they're ready for forever families of their own.

If you're ready for puppy kisses, wagging tails, and a loyal best friend in the making, Pudge, Porky, Polly, and Skippie can't wait to meet you.
