My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

🐾 Meet Shirru! 🐾

Age: 1 year old
Breed: Shepherd / Pit Mix
Arrival Date: October 22nd 2023

Hello there! My name is Shirru, and I'm eagerly wagging my tail in hopes of finding my new home. As a one-year-old Shepherd Pit Mix, I bring a unique blend of loyalty, intelligence, and affection to the table.

Although I've spent some time here at the shelter, I've used every moment to learn and grow. Now, I'm ready to embark on a new adventure with a loving family who can provide me with the security and guidance I crave.

Here's a little bit about me:

🐾 Personality: I'm a friendly and energetic companion who loves to play and explore. Whether it's a game of fetch in the backyard or a leisurely stroll in the park, I'm always up for an adventure. I thrive on human interaction and am eager to shower my future family with love and affection.

🐾 Training: During my time at the shelter, I've worked hard to polish my manners and learn basic commands. With consistent guidance and positive reinforcement, I'm confident that I'll continue to blossom into a well-behaved and obedient companion. I respond well to leadership and am eager to please my new family.

🐾 Needs: As a Shepherd Pit Mix, I require an owner who can provide me with the structure and leadership I need to thrive. A secure and loving environment where I can feel safe and supported is essential for my happiness and well-being. Daily exercise and mental stimulation will also help keep me happy and healthy.
Are you ready to open your heart and home to a loyal and loving companion? If so, I would love nothing more than to become a cherished member of your family. Let's embark on this journey together and create a lifetime of memories filled with love, laughter, and endless tail wags.

If you're interested in making me a part of your family, please contact the shelter at (360)376-6777 or contact through the website at www.orcaspets.org to arrange a meeting. I can't wait to meet you and start our new adventure together!

With love and anticipation,
Shirru 🐾

Additional adoption info

Our shelter is located on Orcas Island in Washington State. Our adoption policy is to always try to find a suitable home for a pet here on island before looking else where. If a suitable owner is not found, we then widen our search to those in San Juan County and outlying areas. If you are looking to adopt from outside of the U.S., please be aware that this would be highly unlikely and only under special circumstances that we would choose to do so.
