Rae is sweet, spirited, curious, and ready for a home that can give her the daily exercise and engagement she deserves.

House trained- Rae sits in front of you and stares at you with those big brown eyes when she needs to go out.

Crate trained - Crate her when you can't be with her. She sleeps in her crate at night and patiently waits for you to rise to take her out. Enjoys her early afternoon naps.

Security - Rae will quickly learn typical sounds of your house and bark if there is anything suspicious. Let her know "it's OK" and she will return to whatever she was doing.



Her favorite toy is to roll a basketball around the yard. She enjoys tug of war and using Kong pull or ball.

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.
