My story

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

9/21/25 update from foster:



Meet Spicy!



This beautiful 7-month-old Great Pyrenees/German Shepherd mix is as unique as her name. Don’t be fooled — Spicy is actually a sweet, mellow girl who loves nothing more than belly rubs and quiet time with her people.



Spicy has a few favorite things in life, and water tops the list — she loves it to the maximum! She’s also food-motivated and very smart, already knowing several commands: come, sit, down, scoot, paw, and spin.



What makes Spicy special:



    •    Sweet and gentle nature



    •    Mellow but alert (she has a deep, impressive bark that will let you know when something’s up)



    •    Loves belly rubs and affection



    •    Thrives in calm, low-key environments



    •    Very smart and eager to learn with food motivation



Because Spicy can get stressed by loud noises or big group activities, she’ll do best in a quieter home where she can feel safe and secure. She’s the perfect match for someone who enjoys a loyal, loving companion without all the hustle and bustle.



If you’re looking for a gentle soul who will love you deeply, make you laugh with her water obsession, and be your loyal best friend, Spicy is ready to meet you!



Apply today to make Spicy part of your forever family.



 



8/3/25 update from her foster: Spicy loves water! This cannot be emphasized enough! WATER!



 



Spicy, her six siblings and their Mum Loreya (also available for adoption) were witnessed being dumbed on the side of the road on the East side of San Antonio, Texas. Luckily the witness rescued them and got them safely to us. They look forward to getting out of the heat and into the mountains!



This little girl is full of energy, runs incredibly fast, and loves to chew on all toys. She can be quite spicy at times, often play fighting with her sister or trying to take on one of the big dogs in the house. She doesn’t back down to a challenge! Spicy is good with dogs, cats and kids!



Mum appears to be a Shepherd mix and is pictured last.



Spicy has made the journey North from San Antonio, Texas and is being fostered in Denver, available to meet.



Red Fern Animal Rescue offers a two week foster to adopt trial in your home before finalizing the adoption to ensure the animal is the right fit for you, everyone in the home, human & animal, and vice versa.



Red Fern Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foster-based animal rescue in Denver that saves animals from abandonment and neglect in South Texas for new lives in Colorado. We primarily rescue dogs off the streets and from kill shelters in San Antonio.
