My name is Lainey!

Meet Lainey
Lainey is a fun-loving, high-energy German Shepherd puppy who is always ready to join in and turn everyday moments into an adventure. She’s confident, athletic, and full of personality—perfect for an active family looking for a dog who can keep up.

Lainey is potty trained and crate trained, and she has just begun working on her basic commands. While she loves her treats, they haven’t quite become her training motivation yet—she’s a smart girl who will shine with consistent, experienced guidance and breed-savvy handling.

She plays well with her sister and takes direction appropriately from the larger dogs in the home, who have made it clear she’s not the one in charge. Lainey is already showing signs of a prey drive, so she may not be a good fit for a home with cats. However, for adopters with German Shepherd experience, this is something that may be manageable with proper training and structure.

Lainey especially loves navigating obstacle courses and balancing along a brick retaining wall—early signs that she would thrive in agility or other canine sports. Though she’s a petite girl, don’t be fooled—she has impressive strength and spring in her hind legs and easily leaps over other dogs when playing.

As expected with an energetic puppy, Lainey can be a bit mouthy, but she responds well to correction. She loves kids, though her playful enthusiasm may be a bit much for very young children. We believe Lainey would do best in a home with breed-savvy kids and an active family who can give her both physical outlets and mental stimulation.

Lainey would make an excellent hiking, adventure, or training partner—a smart, spirited girl ready to channel her energy into something amazing with the right family by her side.
