Shepherd Dogs Available for Adoption in Windsor Locks, Connecticut

Meet Peanut! (Her foster mom started calling her that because she's small for a shepherd)!



Peanut joins us from a local shelter, where she was picked up as a stray. At 3.5 years old and just 50 lbs, she's a petite shepherd (hence the name Peanut), with the most gentle, loving personality.



Peanut is amazing with kids of all ages, gets along great with other dogs and cats, and wins over everyone she meets. Her sweet and loving personality will quickly capture your heart.



Peanut is crate-trained & has excellent indoor manners. She loves walks and is perfecting her leash skills! A smart girl, she's a quick study and will continue to thrive with additional training.



Peanut is spayed, UTD on vaccines, heartworm negative and on preventatives.
