Story
Hi there! I’m a lively shepherd who absolutely loves going on long walks! There’s just so much to sniff and explore out there! I get super excited whenever I hear the leash jingling because I know treats and adventure are coming my way. Speaking of treats, I’m a total foodie and always happy to earn a snack or two for being a good pup. When I’m home, you’ll find me chewing on my favorite toys or chasing after them like I’m on a mission. Just one thing... I’m not really into making friends with other dogs. I prefer to keep my circle small and focus on the humans I trust. But if you’re up for a fun walk and some playtime, I’m your dog!
