My story

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

Meet Key – The Bouncy Pup with the Most Expressive Ears!

Key is a 4-month-old Pit Bull/German Shepherd mix with a heart as big as his ears — and those ears tell you everything he’s thinking! At about 25 pounds, he’s the perfect mix of cuddly and silly, always ready for fun and affection.

Key is very much a puppy: curious, bouncy, and playful. He loves romping with other dogs, exploring his surroundings, and turning just about anything into a game. He’d thrive in a home that can give him plenty of playtime, structure, and chances to learn.

He came to us as an owner surrender when his previous family could no longer care for him. It’s clear he was loved — he’s crate trained, house trained, and already knows “sit.” With his eager-to-please nature, he’ll be a joy to continue training.

If you’re looking for a lively, affectionate young pup who will keep you smiling and then snuggle up when the day is done, Key might be the perfect fit.
