My story

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

🐾 Meet Kemish — Our Shy-but-Sweet Shepherd Boy! 🐾

Kemish is a 7-month-old German Shepherd Dog with the gentlest soul. He’s still learning how big and brave the world can be, so he needs someone who can help him build confidence. 💛

With the people he’s gotten to know here at the shelter, Kemish is a total sweetheart — still a bit standoffish at first, but once he trusts you, he becomes a loving, snuggly companion who just wants to be close.

We’re currently helping him with leash training, and he’s making progress every day! What Kemish needs most is a patient, calm, and confident person who can show him the world isn’t so scary. With the right partner, this boy will bloom into the incredible dog we know he can be. 🌼🐕

If you have the time, love, and patience to give, Kemish is ready to give his heart right back. ❤️

👉 Send us a message or stop by the shelter to meet him!
Let’s help this sweet boy find the home he deserves. 🏡🐾
